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

This fine beer is what a Belgium Ale should be. Spiced aromatics of Corriander, orange and more, which is slightly greater than the malts and hops. The flavor is clean with a well balanced hop bitters that lingers. Overall the beer is dry, light and very drinkable. In other words, give me another. Cheers

12 oz bottle. A golden haze, maybe a burnt orange in color. A nice white head. Aroma is spice, banana, some yeastiness and hops. More banana upfront on the taste, then a fruity spice, some yeast, giving way to a nice hoppy finish. A little bit of the aftertaste is a fruit, more banana.

Bottle - Hazy gold with a lasting, frothy off white head and good lacing. Low to medium carbonartion. Medium body. Wheaty with banana, cloves and a touch of alcohol. Slightly dry finish with a medium bitterness.

A nice beer. Pours with little head. It has an intense bitter start which fades to a slightly sweeter finish. Almost sparkly with carbination.

This beer has a light golden apperance with a fiarly light fruity aroma. When poured a large head builds up and clings to the glass on the way down. The initial taste is quite mild but the aftertaste leaves you with an orangey dryness. You can definately tell from the taste that this is a beer with a reasonable alchol content.

Pours a very light golden blond. Hazy golden orange in the glass. Thick, white head. Very fruity aroma....raisins and white grapes with a subtle hint of plums. Flavor is very similar...with a hint of hops and yeast. Overall a very drinkable tripel.
