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

330 ml bottle at home. Smells of yeast, fruit. The taste is very nice with the typical wheat character, fruit, yeast, pretty sweet, sugar. A bit spicy, with a quite hoppy end. Very dry, so it’s hard to wait for the next sip. Another great beer from Chimay!

My favourite of Chimay’s offerings. Lovely citrus flavours that keep you wanting more. A bench-mark for the style.

this is the first triple i’ve ever had. Poured darker than i expected, a dark cloudy gold with shit floating around. the head was beautiful and rocky and white. flavor was very fruity with a medium body. moderately bitter with dried fruits in the finish and flavor. very good but nothing life changing going on.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex Trappist, good balance, hazy, rocky head, good brew, but not a topper

Had a much fresher version than I have been drinking recently and it really showed in aroma. Real hop aroma, some resin and citrus combined with a distinct clove character. Lots of hops race around the palate, oranges and spices and a full malt body all interplay on the path to a dryness and bitterness that last. Perhaps with some black pudding or soused mackerel? I have always had a fondness for the slightly hazy golden tinged orange colour. It looks great and strangely perfect in a Chimay glass.
