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

Bottle. Very nice and fruity with a nice light copper body and a decent sized head, really nice and smooth to drink.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber hazy color with a large, dense white head. Lacing is ridiculously strong. Aromas of spruce, banana, dough, and hay. Palate is exceptionally smooth with a very creamy finish. Tastes of banana, butterscotch, bread and smooth citrus. This beer is just plain awesome. Greatness has been achieved.

330 ml bottle. Finland. Hazy amber colour with fluffy white head. Sweet fruity aroma. Slightly bitter, spicy and citrusy flavour. Excellent!

Alcohol, butterscotch and orange on the aroma. Beer is a translucent yellow-orange with a white, tightly nit head. A slightly sharp, tingly feeling on the tongue that is very pleasant! An amazingly complex beer for such a light color. Tasty citrus notes throughout. Much smoother than the Chimay Blue.

Hazy yellow colour with some sediment. Hop nose. Taste is a full palate of hop and yeast. A little bitterness in the aftertaste. Overall one of the better beers I’ve ever had.

From bottle on 12/24/09. Pours a hazy orange with sizeable off-white, creamy head. Aromas of sweet spices, yeast, light on the malts. Taste is dry and slightly sweet. Spices are a positive in this tripel offering, not a hinderance. Alcohol is well-hidden - simply an excellent and world-class abbey tripel!

Appears hazy reddish orange with a thick rich head. Smells yeasty with hints of orange and some floral aromas. There is a sharp bite added with mixed spicy bitterness. The taste slowly mellows out, with a smooth clean finish. This is easily drinkable, in fact I drank it way to quickly without realizing it. It achieves both refreshment and complexity. There is just the right amount of alcohol presence, not overpowering, but you know its there

Hazy golden yellow beer with fine white mousse. Aroma is slight peppery with hints of malts and some yeast. Taste is bready, cereals and some refreshing hops. aftertaste is nice with a bready malty feeling and ends with a good touch of hop.
