dj (418), Gloucestershire, England Dec 28, 2008 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. Russo (595), Campinas, Brazil Dec 27, 2008 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. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Dec 26, 2008 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. nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Dec 22, 2008 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. PolishHammer (64), , Connecticut, USA Dec 20, 2008 Updated: Feb 8, 2009Alcohol, 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. carruthm (1109), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 19, 2008 bottle from friend, light and white, but with a nice backing to it. airy fruit spices are the main component. ZappaFan (6), Bronx, New York, USA does not count Dec 17, 2008 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. ajm (902), Los Angeles, California, USA Dec 17, 2008 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.
