Commercial Description:
Chimay Blanche (White), with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, wheat starch, sugar, hop extract and yeast. See Protz and John White

Mmmmmm! Very spicy, reminds me a lot of a slightly less yeasty La Fin Du Monde (which was in fact the first "good" beer I ever had.) It tingles the inside of my mouth after swallowing. Slightly harsh on the tongue at first, maybe from the alcohol? However, it doesn’t taste boozy at all. Very dry finish. Quite good overall, haven’t had the Blue yet, but worlds ahead of the Red.

Bottle. I has this beer chilled as per Chimay’s serving instructions. Color and head were nice, but aroma had nothing. Sweetish malts, but no fruitiness. Perhaps an old bottle? Beer was good, more bitter than the Red. Alcholic strength not detectable.

33cl bottle from Wine Company, Slough.<./I> Slightly hazy amber with a loose off-white head; fresh aroma of hops and cinnamon, lightly carbonated; rich, buttery texture, sweet raisin and caramel malt flavours with some warming spice and alcohol to finish. Very pleasant.

33cl bottle poured into a Chimay Trappist glass. Cloudy copper with two finger creamy off-white head. Aroma is bubblegum and alcohol. Flavor is predominantly bitter hops and alcohol with slight bubblegum. High carbonation. Finish is warming alcohol. Pretty good but not the best example of a tripel by far.

pours cloudy amber red with a thick lacy head. aroma is somewhat citrusy and spicy. flavor is malty and heavy on alcohol, with some brown fruit notes. aftertaste has a whiskey-like burn. not bad, but the red and especially the blue Chimay is better.

Had on draft at the Dilly Deli. This tripel had little or no aroma surpisingly, especially compared with the Tripel Karmeliet I had the night before. It was smooth, easy drinking tripel with some spicy dryness, fruity, malty sweetness and some yeast. A tad on the cloudy side, this is a good tripel, but not as good as Tripel Karmeliet.
