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

High carbonation. Orange to amber in color with a big foamy head. Yeasty, spicy, and sweet in the smell. Much of the same from the smell is in the taste. Pretty good.

Has the perfect yeast smell! It is a solid example of the style and well made. Tried and true, certainly a great beer but nothing amazing. The orange-y-ness is very pleasant. (Ingredients: wheat starch and hop extract???? WTF???) Nothing that amazing.

Cloudy golden pour with a billowing cream colored head. Small brown floaties. A nice yeasty nose and a heavy bready spiciness. Sharp on the side of the tongue. Dry and creamy with a lasting hop finish. I’m a fan of the more subdued spiciness in this one.

Pours a cloudy orange from the bomber with a soapy off-white head. Mild yeast on the nose with caramel, apple, and faint cream in the flavor. Rich lacing with heavy sediment, yet unexectedly watered-down for my taste.

Orange-amber hazy body with a beautiful foamy head. Nice appearance! Like the aroma...After a few seconds the beer opens its own perfume. Delicious spicey-floral hop, freaky vine-must and fruity vanilla aromas. Complex texture with a good balanced hop in the flavor, nice spices like clove, cinnamon and coriander, rich body of top fermentation and various kinds of malts. Well hidden alcohol, strong hop, dry finish, beautiful character!

33cl bottle. Hazy orange color with off-white head. Distinctive spicy aroma, with cinnamon and banana. Flowery. Taste was fruity, raisin. A distinctive, memorable dessert beer, though not one I’d want to have in quantity.
