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

Sour lambic aroma. White head with golden honey colors. Dryish flavor with a sweetish balance, malt, hay, cookie, dried fruits and slightly bitter finish. Rich and even palate with strong carbonation. Quite good.

75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark golden/orangish/honey color with a thick frothy white head that slowly settles to about one finger. Good head retention. Aroma is ripe fruit, apple, spice, yeast, bread and complex aged cheese. Flavor is yeasty and fruity with notes of bread, honey, and hops. Light to medium body with a slightly bitter finish.

Pours golden with plenty of foam. Aroma of fruit and a little alcohol. Tastes of banana, apple, pear. Little burn of alcohol. Got what I expected but little more. I might try it again, but I’d rather stick to the blue.

Orange with big, foamy off-white head / Light, fragrant nose of banana, yeast, and spice / Medium body, crisp and lively, but with good malts underneath and excellent, bitter finish / Flavors of banana, orange, apple, clove, and coriander / Pretty much a textbook tripel.

And orange beer leaning towards amber with a powerful head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits and herbs. Rich in flavor where one picks up hints of pineapple, passion fruit and more herbs. Bitterness blends in well towards the end. Perhaps slightly too large late bitterness for me to give it a better score.

Pours a hazy orange with a nice white head. Aroma is dry, fruit, sour, yeast. Flavor is yeast, dry, fruit, pepper with floral notes. My least favorite of the chimay line, but still pretty decent.
