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

Pours a nice golden orange with a bright white head which dissipates slowly leaving a little bit of lacing on the glass. Aroma is of grains and citrusy hops. Taste is medium bodied grains, with a strong hop presence. There is a citrus aftertaste which is due to the hops.

Golden in colour. Mild cloudiness, with a thin head. A great fresh hop and yeast combo. Dried figs and a touch of bitterness. A great trappist!

Copper pour, long lasting head. Aroma is citrus mostly orange, heavy hops with some spice (ginger and cinnamon I think). The mouthfeel is nice, quite full, strongly carbonated. Taste is alcohol, citrus and spice, more tasty hops here, big alcohol kick.

Copper, unfiltered. Nice head retention. Foam non-homogenious. Aroma: Citrusy fruits and some sweetness. Nice, but bites a bit. Nice balance. Sweet, citrusy. Fantastic symphony. Flat, mouth watering. Very nice, though alcohol a little much for me.

Bottle. Cloudy, copper color. One of the best Abbey Tripels you can buy. Excellent balance of light sweetness with 8% ABV kick.
