Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Delivers a hazy golden orange body with a brilliant three fingers of foam that is extremely compact (very meringue-like) Nose is dominated by orange and spice with some white muscat notes also prevailing. Palate is medium bodied but seems quite full, almost creamy. Banana and orange fruit notes are dominant with substantial spice, namely anise. There is also a hint of white pepper present that compliments the spice in adding to a slightly dry, earthy finish.

Small bottle. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a sizable white head. Aroma was filled with lemon, wheat, and sour notes. Palate features nice sharp carbonation and a medium body. Flavor is an combination of wheat, spice, hops, and citrus. Flavor also features more of that classic Belgian “banana” flavor. Overall, this is a better balanced and interesting brew than Chimay’s Red bottle Belgian. Enjoyable.

0.33 L bottle from Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary. A briht reddish gold colour with heaps of foamy head. Aroma of spicy hops and grass. Taste is hoppy and slightly bitter. Very good beer and i was impressed as this was my first tripel.

330ml Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a 2 finger creamy white head. Nose is yeast, spice and hops. Taste is Belgian yeast and spices and a bitter hop finish. Medium mouth feel. Part of a 3 bottle vertical I did. This was first, and came in last. Still good however.

Very nice tripel, and widely avialable. Hazy amber color, smells of fruit, bananas, and other citrus. Very good combination of hops, spices, and yeast. Nice, fairly bitter finish.

This is a very tasty beer. The head is full, remains, and adds a nice creamy texture. The flavor is wonderfully spicy and very complex. The malts are noticably present and the hops are balanced nicely. This is a nice triple.

Hazy orange with a thick and permanent head. Spicy and sour aroma with some yeast and malt. Flavor is quite bitter and yeasty with a nice fruity and spicy taste. Also somehow cheese-like sour which disturbs a bit. Very smooth mouthfeel and quite a good body. Not my favorite trappist but anyway enjoyable.

Bottle & tap on multiple occasions @ Café Gollem. Pale amber colour, white head. Aroma of hops and malts, some spices and yeast. Flavour is very malty, but nicely balanced by the hoppy bitterness and a slightly earthy/yeasty taste. Very smooth palate, soft and creamy mouthfeel. There aren’t many flavours in this beer, but the ones present are so well balanced that you have to love this brew. One of the best (if not the best) tripels.
