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

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.

Just hazy golden color, creamy head. Soft aroma of malt, and light biscuits, maybe a bit perfumy. It has a good malt flavor, dry, with a good body strength, with a very good Belgian yeast job. Well bitter. Very good.

Beautiful amber color, thick head.
Very nice aroma, more delicate than Chimay Red; caramel and old hops.
Good body structure and good balance; it has aged well, just some oak cask flavor, and a light liquorice hint.
Final stronger and more interesting than Chimay Red.

Hazy amber beer with nice big head. Aroma of flowers, wheat, coriander and fruits. Fruits and orange peel dominates the flavor. Very refreshing.

Big head atop a golden unfiltered body. Sweet, fruity, peppery aroma. The flavor, however, is, in addition to all these, slightly astringent. Alcohol flavor noticeable, but not unpleasant.

33cl bottle. Hazy dirty orange colour with lasting white head. Orange citric nose. Ok in mouth with good citric orange yeast flavours. Nice finish with good citric acids more orange flavours and good tangy hops. Nice beer with interesting flavours. Re-rate. OK not so much a re-rate, but I had this on tap at ’tWaagstuk in Antwerp so I guess it may be slightly different. Hazy gold with lasting creamy head. Slightly spicy hoppy yeasty aroma. Creamy in mouth. Hop profile is perfect for my tastes. Even slightly buttery in mouth. One of my real favourites
