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

Malty smell and a little bitter taste. Not Chimays best offering. I will stick to Blue.

Pours a hazy golden color, with a nice head. Plenty of carbonation, and an overall good beer. I liked this one, and will have again.

Wow! Poured from 11.2 oz bottle. Creamy off-white head and hazy amber color. Lots of carbonation. Very hoppy aroma with hints of a citric smell. It barely reminds me of the wheat but it doesn’t have the rotten banana flavor. Very dry finish.

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". Pours clear orange/amber with a creamy off white head. Malt orange and yeast in the nose. Fruity flavors. Toffee, caramel, earthy/ a little dirty with lots of alcohol. Fizzy carbonation. Meh. Chimay has always done terrible in our blind tastings. This one is not an exception.

11.2 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a very large, frothy head. Smells of fruit and wheat with a hint of floral. Contained quite a bit of carbonation but did not take away from the overall taste. Slight lacing on the side of the glass due to the large head. Tasted of fruit and hops with a strong lingering of alcohol. A tasty beer!

Not a bad beer, but mine was just WAY to carbonated! It tasted like my mouth was on fire because of it. Actually I couldnt really taste anything except for the carbonation.
