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

Tap. This beer didn’t live up to the hype, but w.o concern of price, this is a good beer. Aromas of pound cake, banana, clove, wheat pair with the taste. Not too overwhelming though, and I bet there are way better tripels out there.

draft at Public House 7/15/09. Pours a crisp but cloudy golden orange color with a fluffy white head. Nose is yeasty and musty with some light fruit notes of apricots and peaches. Palate is full with light carbonation. Flavors of light must and fruit like the apricots and peaches noted above.

Tap at Bier Circus (Brussels). Nice light body, with cinnamon maybe ginger overtones. A great, spicy beer that defines the style.

Amazingly, I haven’t rated any of the offerings from Chimay... Bottled; pours a cloudy golden color with a small white head. Well hopped aroma, fresh baked bread, ground coriander, and sweet honey. Well carbonated body reveals a nutty, yeasty brew. Roasted biscuit malts give way to a bitter, hoppy finish. I have avoided this beer over the past 10 years, as it was my least favorite beer from Chimay. Times and tastes have changed; this is a world class beer. Still not a fan of the kegged version, however.

Darker than other tripels. Strong aroma, with more hops than usual. Tastes strong, with alcohol and esters and hops. Bitter. I used to like it more, and I think its too agressive comparing to other tripels.

Served chilled. Pours cloudy golden with large white head. Taste is spicy with notes of fruit and hop. Alcohol taste is present but not overpowering. Hop taste in the finish. This is very well balanced. A delightful experience to be savored.
