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 hazy golden color with a white head. Aromas of bread, dough, flowers, grass and citrus. Excellent flavors of hops and fruitiness with a slightly bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation that tingles on the tongue. A very well made tripel, one of my favories.

I’m not one for really fruity beers, but this one blends the abundance of fruit witha good alcohol content. Great aroma and taste. Goes down smooth with some welcome aftertaste

Very hazy gold color. Lots of white head at the top, but I later found out that I stored it improperly (store upright, not on it’s side). Strong taste, can’t tell the flavor, but it’s strong. I prefer Chimay Red more than White.

Pours a cloudy gold with a huge white head. The nose is very fruity with bananas and candied orange. There is a nice hoppy bitterness on the tongue and it finishes crisp with a nice bitter after taste. Nice carbonation and the alcohol is nicely hidden.

The date stamp on the cork is 03/07.The beer was poured into Chimay glasses and produced a thick off-white head. The head eventually dropped to 1/4 inch but never faded totally. The beer is a highly-carbonated bright amber orange, and it’s quite attractive. (Food should please the eyes as well as the palate.) The aroma is surprisingly hoppy with a underlying sweet malt and hints of fruit. The aromas are precursors to the flavor palette. A complex blend of hoppy, fruity and yeasty. There are a range of spices lingering in there as well; pepper, cinnamon are noted. A faint candy sweetness waits in the background. The aftertaste has some drying bitterness with peachy fruitiness in the end. I found the alcohol to be very well-masked.

Large bottle. Hazy golden with white head. Floral! Quite high carbonization. A nice tripel that I can recommend to the person that enjoys tripels.
