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 cloudy, deep orange color with large head. Smells yeast and sweet. Nice floral, peppery taste. Amazing mouthfeel, as I didn’t know a beer could feel as soft in the mouth. Finish is a little bitter with an unoffensive alcoholic bite.

Draught @ Duvel Cafe, Stockholm 080425. Typical Cimay aromas of roses, coriander, marzipan and some yeastiness. Flavor and palate is very surprising. I never thought a beer could taste like fresh shellfish. Gravelly, salt, citrus and dill. The finish is slightly sour and bitter. But what happened with the flavor?

This hazy orange beer has a large fluffy head and is quite fizzy (slightly more than I’d like, in fact.) It has a spicy and bread-like aroma. The flavour is very nicely balanced between sweet, banana-like malt and bitterness from the hops with some alcohol on the finish. I found it very pleasant indeed.

High carbonation. Orange to amber in color with a big foamy head. Yeasty, spicy, and sweet in the smell. Much of the same from the smell is in the taste. Pretty good.

Seriously one of my all time favorite beers. It’s even better when paired with its own cheese. Cookie dough malt background with some light lemony zest, and a bit of white candi sugar glaze for the sweetness detected on the palate. This is absolutely delicious.

De mémoire. Quelle allure ! Bière blonde jaune, légèrement voilée, avec une abondante et superbe mousse de meringue fine, aérienne. C’est à ce jour une des plus belles bières que j’ai vu, splendide ! Parfum floral léger, d’herbe verte et tendre. Goût franc et intense, épicé, citronné. Alcool puissant, relevé, chaud. Palais onctueux mais frais. Une bière fantastique.

Pours dark hazy amber with incredible lacing and modest head. Aroma primarily of beligian yeast, and lemongrass. Flavor is well balanced and fufilling while still maintaining a high level of drinkability. Great flavor, great mouthfeel, and great aroma- great offering by Chimay.
