Chimay is one of those brands that carries a bit of cachet. The name exemplifies Belgian beer for a lot of people. For many, Chimay's Dubbel defines the genre. For the most part there is good reason Chimay is held in such high regard. They do make some fabulous beers... but no one is perfect. Not all Chimay beers are home runs, and the White is more of a grounder to 2nd base. I was a bit disappointed in the Chimay White, I was hoping for a more balanced Tripel that showcased it's sourness. The White is more bitter than I was expecting. There is still a bit of good Belgian sour in this beer, just not as much as the aroma would suggest. This beer smells like a Wit that has just been loaded up with Brettanomyces. The flavor really falls short...
