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

Bottle. Pours a light orange amber body with a big fluffy head. The least favorite chimay in my opinion. Aroma is dry and earthy and has a good pepper yeasty backbone. Flavor is that. A solid beer thats an easy choice. I enjoyed it slightly less on draft.

33cl bottle. Served in a Chimay glass. Pours orange tinted golden with a 3 fingered head. Slight haze with lots and lots of fine bubbles. Aroma is light fruit, honey, spice (pepper), and floral. Taste is sweet and malty pils malt, light fruits (pear), some mild alcohol, & black pepper. Finish is slightly tart & bitter, but balanced. This is a pretty tasty beer and a nice example of the style.

(0.33 l bottle, BBE2010, at Kaisla on 2008-06-11) Orange and cloudy. Quite big white dense head. Yeasty and fruity nose. Full and quite dry palate, quite carbonated. Malts and hints of chocolate in taste. Bitter aftertaste. Bit harsh. Perhaps too young.

On tap at Pizzaman’s in Milwaukee. Appearance is a golden amber, with a frothy, foamy head. Smell is grainy and a little floral. Tastes sweet, with a hint of green apples--refined and complex, yet simple. Slightly dry and impeccably smooth. Completely intoxicating, and leaves one feeling as if floating on a cloud. Miraculously heavenly.

This most famous of the Trappist brews doesn’t disappoint with its white - it is beautiful on the palate. A rich, spicy and sweet flavor that delights your tongue with taste.

Pours a golden color with a off white particle filled head. Particles flowting around everywhere. Just flowting. Pretty smooth on the palate. Too different for me to want to get it again.

Bottle pours a mildly cloudy golden orange color with a thin white head. Good lacing along the side of the glass. Aroma consists of mostly yeast, sweetness, bananas, biscuit, alcohol, and spices. Flavor is a nice mixture of malts and hops. Dry finish. Very lively carbonation.
