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

Barnyard spice and sweet clove. Slight hazy gold, foamy head with good lacing. Apricot sweet with liquorice clove, noticeable bitterness, well-balanced. Big carbonation, full body, spicy fruit, with a late alcohol burn. Deep and rich, good balance, drinks nicely, maybe a little hot.

The first "good" beer I ever had, and this is the first I’ve tried it again since. Decent look, slightly hazy yellow with average retention and lacing. Pleasant aromas of flowers, yeast, bananas, other fruits. Quite sweet but not cloying, more banana, creamy, a touch of bitterness, finishing with a metallic (but not as much so as Orval), clean balance.

Pours a glowing orange golden with generous amount of floaties and big sudsy frothy white head. Nice bright floral fruity aroma, some apples, candied orange, bananas and a touch of vanilla. First taste is bitter, off-dry, metallic, yeasty with subtle fruit. Finishes malty with notes of banana. Medium bodied , slightly sticky, with lots of fine sharp fizzy carbonation. Sweetens up quite a bit as I continue to drink.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy deep orange/gold with off-white head. Aroma is great, fruit, citrus, floral, barn. Flavor is just as good, malt, barnyard, citrus, nice little hoppy bitter. Mouthfeel is pretty solid with crisp carbonation. Overall, pretty good stuff!

Fluffy, off-white head. Mildly cloudy, orange/amber hue. Looks wonderful in the Chimay chalice. A honey sweetness in the nose,some citrus and bubblegum. Some malt and herbs in the aroma. Flavours are complex, with citrus zest and a resiny hops that give it gorgeous flavour and a nice bitterness. Some spicy clove in the flavours, and the alcohol presents itself well. Amazing.
