I would simply like to express to you what an excellent beer this Chimay Blanche Trappist is:
I’m getting into Belgian ales. Well, let me correct that – I’ve been into Belgians for awhile, but there are so many different styles and such, that it really is a world of its own. This one happens to be reasonably dry, and the most hopped of the Chimay beers – an excellent accompaniment to most any food. Not overpowering, well structured, long-lingering on the palate, and a great way to start exploring the various styles of traditional Belgian Ales.
A quick review gives this beer a 92 out of 100 for:
- its friendliness to absolutely everyone
- excellent structure
- full-bodied and well rounded mouthfeel
Expect more of this style very soon!

Speaking of Belgians and Belgian style beers, tell us what you thought of the Two Jokers, Double-Wit from Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City. I rather liked the beer. Not sure it rose to the Grimbergen level, but it was quite tasty. Very champaign-like.
