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

Had a really nice aroma of grapes and yeast. A very clean taste of raisins, spices, and other tropical fruits. Finished very smoothly, mmm what a good beer.

Chimay on tap? Only at Canal St Pub, at least in this crap town. The smell was very atypcial of most tripels I enjoy. Westmalle and Bernardus Tripels have a certain belgian tripel smell, no one knows how to describe it but this doens’t have it. Not does it have the american tripel honey nose, nor the canadiana tripel clove nose. It smells very nicehowever. The taste is great. Very typical Tripel taste, nothing overally fantastic. There are much better Tirpels for your money out there. This beer is recommended, but not if other tripels are available. Try a Westmalle, or Bernardus Tripel if you want a true Belgian experience

Tasted at the GOBF. Pours a light hazy amber with a thick fluffy white head. Slightly fruity, earthy hop, musty aroma. Spicy hop bitter taste with a nice light malt body and a nice balancing sweetness.

Sampled at the GOBF. Not as bold as the Blue. Much lighter and fruitier. Nice honey flavor with the grainy and wheat flavor.

Pours an unfiltered blonde amber with a gererous cream colored head. It has aromas of wheat, apricot, apple spice, and honey. Has an earthy taste coupled with flavors of yeast and subdued hops. There is some moderate carbonation but the alcohol is virtually hidden. A very nice beer to muse over.

A beautiful golden color in the glass. Drinks smooth and easy, but you never forget the mild hoppiness. Easy to drink too many of these.
