Chimay Tripel White 33 cl

ABV: 8.0% · Untappd: 3.72

An authentic Trappist beer! Chimay Blanche Triple is a Strong Blond Ale with a fruity, spiced flavour, perfectly balanced with a slight bitterness and hop aroma. First brewed in 1966 and released in a 75cl format 20 years later as a commemorative edition for the 500th anniversary of the Cistercian Order of Chimay, this is the Chimay recommended for aperitifs, given its complexity and dry finish.

Dominant flavor: Fruity and Hopped

About the beer

The history of Chimay began in 1850 when the priest of Virelles, Father Jean-Baptiste Jourdain, and the Prince of Chimay, Joseph de Riquet de Caraman, entrusted a mission to a small group of monks from Westvleteren: to settle on the Scourmont plateau with the goal, then as now, of “supporting the Chimay region”. To this end, they decided to brew beer using the abundant water available on the marshy plateau; the first batch was produced in 1862. Subsequently, they also began producing cheese, which is incidentally the perfect match for Chimay. Brewing knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation to ensure that the principles of Chimay are always respected. Today, it is one of the 5 Belgian breweries that can display the “Authentic Trappist Product” label. We highly recommend a visit to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Scourmont.
