COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Chimay Tripel, 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 (beer-pages.com/protz/features/chimay.htm) and John White (www.whitebeertravels.co.uk/chimay.html)

This is the BEST beer in the World! I have traveled the World in search of it and have brought it to 5 star restaurants with me and served in a chiller. A beer so good you will want it after a night on the floor of the bathroom and still appreciate the taste

It is extremely similar to Chimay Red without the abundance of flavors and yet it is equally as impressive. Even though they are all perfect beers I believe the Chimay taste ladder begins with Red on top followed by Blue and then White.

One of the best tripels of all time. Pretty much defines what a tripel should taste like. Has a beautiful head ,very full golden bodied beer hints of bananas and raisins. Defines the style perfectly.

Cinq Cents pours a cloudy orange with an off white head of very fine, very soft foamy bubbles. The nose is floral hops and bright citrus. Grapefruit. Superb retention and lacing . The taste is smooth. creamy and not a hint of alcohol until it warms you in the long dry finish. Crisp. It’s perfectly balanced so that the citrus is not at all sour. It’s perfect and elegant.

Forte, com sabor marcante. Teor alcoólico elevado, mas não demais. Uma das melhores cervejas que já tomei.
