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

Bottle. A deep copper colour with a small head. A spicy aroma. Taste is floral with plenty of spice and citrus fruit with hints of honey. Not overly sweet. A very enjoyable brew, fairly typical for a tripel.

Bottled. Cloudy amber color, with a very nice and persistent white head. Aroma is amazing, fruity, flora, sweety, notes of honey, burned sugar. Flavor is balanced Citrus, spice and sweet. Mouthfeel is spicy and dry that take a long time to leave the palate.

Drank and sank from a Chimay goblet: The respected White Chimay . Ive had cooler triples but itsa beer worthy of street cred. A hoppy belgian ale thats character is allowed to be itself.Earthy and floral .Musty dank old skool dry shit in the finish. Textured -if subdued.

Wow, Pours golden with a white head. Very, very smooth and bright for a triple. Smell the wonderful hops and yeast. I have wanted to try Chimays trappists for a very long time and I am very impressed. Thanks to the monks, keep the wonderful brews flowing around the world.

Alcohol, butterscotch and orange on the aroma. Beer is a translucent yellow-orange with a white, tightly nit head. A slightly sharp, tingly feeling on the tongue that is very pleasant! An amazingly complex beer for such a light color. Tasty citrus notes throughout. Much smoother than the Chimay Blue.

Split this bottle with my dad. Very good, although I was warned that this was the worst of Chimay bottles. Nice orange golden color, scattered with particles. Great thick head that did not last very long but left a nice simple lacing. Fruity taste, not overwhelmingly bitter.

Tap at Papago and my 500th rating. A beautiful, tasty beer that is probably even better out of the bottle. Aromatic notes of flour, soft apple and cream. Tastes of the same along with wheat, light citric zest and a wonderful patina of vanilla at the close. Smooth and calming.
