Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Abbey Tripel
Baileux, Belgium

bottle. Gentle pour shows a hazy light orange color with a full inch and a half of thick white head that clears slowly to leave a thin layer of head and plenty of lacing. Nose of candi sugar and sticky sweet fruity phenols. Sweetness very heavy on the nose. Flavor does away with the overbearing sweet nose; crisp spice notes of coriander and some orange spice. Grainy yeast sharpness. Smooth tamed sugar sweetness and fruity boozy phenols. The nose may have been simple and sweet, but the flavor is incredibly deep and complex. Palate is full with some creamy sweetness. Suprisingly crisp finish. Overall... well, shit, it’s a superb brew. The nose disappoints a bit, but that is basically forgotten once the flavor is experienced.

Draft - Poured a slightly hazy golden amber in color with a decent white head. Aroma is strong of spicy hops, citrus, some dark fruit and bready Belgian yeast. Flavor follows pretty closely. Finish is spicy and slightly bitter. Really good...

Pours a hazy deep gold. Sweet nose, spicy, cloves, some banana. Flavor is spices, floral spiced hops, sweet candy sugar. Nicely carbed.

poured golden and hazy with white head aromas and flavors of spices and friuts been sitting on this one for a while after reading forums about how this is not as good as blue but a hell of a lot better than red now i ’m affraid to crack open red

Aroma is spicy, yeasty, some orange peel, moderate amount of light fruityness. The appearance is a golden red color, strong white head, good lacing on glass. The Falvor is similar to the aroma, spicy, hoppy, yeasty, slighly fruity. The finish is more spicyness, and bittering hops. This is a decent trpiel, true to its style.

First rating in quite a while; i’m a bit out of condition. Served in a large shiraz glass poured from a 750ml bottle. Aroma of dried fruits and port, better than it sounds! Creamy in the mouth, but also dry afters.

Small bottle. Light brown and cloudy with a fluffy white head. A big aroma - yeasty, perfumy. Tastes of caramelised malt, raisons, yeasty, and has a strong bitter finish with some alcohol warming. A really enjoyable beer.

Hazy orange, huge white head. Spicy, yeasty, slightest hint of wheaty banana. Fruity aroma. Slightly oily feel.
