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

Poured a hazy light gold color with a small white head. Nice aromas or yeast and hops. Flavor is mostly yeast and hops, but also citrusy and a variety of spices. Medium-bodied with a little bite on the tongue. Overall, very solid.

Aroma is excellent, yeasty and hoppy. Beautiful pour, cloudy gold, with nice thick head and lacing. Yeasty flavor with citrus and hoppy tones. Thick mouthfeel. Tasty brew, but not spectacular.

Bottle--Old rating---I just don’t get it. This is such wonderful stuff, a readily accessible beer that is top quality. I’ve just entered in a rating for Becks N/A and it’s hard to imagine that they are both beers and made (in theory) from the same ingredients. The beer has a hazy orange color with a large head. The aroma is citrus and fruity. Soft malt taste dominates with and a light fruit flavor. The finish isn’t too bitter and I read a review saying the finsh is tart, and that’s about right.
