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

An orange beer with a beutiful head. It has the aroma of orange and fruit and the tastes of the same. It is very well balanced between the sweetness and the bitter lingering. A great beer that I enjoy on a regular basis.

Pale amber, hazy rich head. Banana aroma. Lively and complex. Very flavourful and fruity. Peppery. This is an old favourite I have not sampled for far too long.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured, frothy head, lots of sediment. A dry, very dry almost medicinal or herbal beer, and as such an unusual trappist. Comes in the neighborhood of Orval but far from that beers complexity. A bit too bitter for my liking. 180893

(Bottle 75 cl) As "Chimay Cinq Cents". 6/3/6/3/12=12 140201

Cloudy golden-amber Dusty yeast and ciabatta malts in the nose, tempered by a soft stryian earthiness and light pepper. Dry palate with just a hint of sweetness. Dusty yeast leads, followed by peppery alcohol. Moderate bitterness. Not bad for the style, and a fairly strong earthy hop character. Well-made and cohesive if somewhat short of scintillating.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma with notes of spices. Flavour of fruits with notes of spices, yeast, hops and alcohol. Hoppy finish.
