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

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.

Pours a hazy gold color with a nice white head. Strong taste and cloudy gold color with nice white foam. Nice bitter taste and flavors of vanilla. Nice long blend of flavors. Excellent beer.

My favorite of the three Chimays. Not as acidic as the other two but has a very nice aftertaste. Slightly fruity taste and wheat flavors.

Another impressive beer from this brewery. typical Belgian wheat flavour, but what makes this beer so impressive is the high alcohol content that is not evident in the taste. In fact, I was surprised to see that this was 8% ABV.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours an unclear orange/golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is fruity and yeast. The flavor has fruits, yeast and a little alcohol. The palate is a little bitter, but still balanced. Overall this beer is easy drinkable, dispite the alcohollevel.
