Chimay Tripel (White)
Poured from a 330cl bottle into a Chimay chalice. A- Dark, cloudy and golden. Plenty of fluffy white head that recedes to cover the top of the beer. Lots of lacing going on too. S- sweet and sour yeasty smell. Reminds me of Delirium Tremens. This may be my favorite beer smell next to Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. T- I'm not sure where to start. It follows the smell, but I can't name any specific tastes. Tangy, sweet, fruity, and a little spicy and sour. Maybe some white grapes in there. A little less sweet and a little more spice as it warms. M- Lots of soft, fine texture from the carbonation. Light body, smooth and easy drinking. D- I could go back for another. I might go back for another if I had one, so I could try and figure out the taste a little better. I like this about the same as Chimay red, but not near as much as I love the blue. I'll have to try a few more tripels and revisit this one and try and decipher its flavors.
