Well, I decided to round out the Tour de Chimay with a bottle of the Chimay White. This is their Tripel. I again paid $5.29, but this one weighs in at 8%.
This beer is a little lighter in color than the La Fin Du Monde, and it doesn't have as much head. There was quite a bit of sediment in the bottom of this beer.
The beer smells of peach, caramel, and a little apple and pear. The spice scent isn't as pronounced. The beer tastes sweet, a little sour, and the fruit comes through mildly. There's a little of the yeasty malt flavor that's common to all tripels, but it's not as strong as in the LFDM. There isn't much spice, either. Again, I'd say that this is a good, but underwhelming and overpriced beer. I'm going to give it [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. If I saw someone in Beers of the World considering buying this, I'd definitely steer them away. Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde is better, and it's cheaper.
