the beers of FUTENMA: Chimay White (triple)

It's time to give CHIMAY another shot. According to the webbernet, CHIMAY triple is the driest and hoppiest of the beers they brew, as a fan of IPAs, maybe I'll like this one.

I pried the crimp cap off and put nose to bottle, it has the aroma of wheat beer, this is not a good sign. I'll keep an open mind, beer often does not taste like its nose.

It has a burnt orange color, maybe everything will be alright. There is practically no head when I pour it, but after a minute a rather thick, creamy one forms. I can see the bubbler working overtime, there are also streams coming from the sides. Imperfections in the glass maybe? Probably just smudges from hand washing. Maybe it's the variety of hopps that give this beer it's aroma, maybe it has a putrid taste like wheat beer? Time to find out.

This tastes quite a bit like an IPA, although that is not surprising as the whole Idea of an IPA is to be a hopp overload. It is not exactly like an IPA though, it has a slight wheat beer like aftertaste, which makes it distinctly different. The beer has already warmed up a little, I don't notice the wheat taste anymore. Rolling around, it has cinnamon notes. I don't think I've had a beer I can honestly say has had cinnamon notes. I'm almost halfway through the chalice and I wish I had more. I'm going to sip this and make it last, I think y'all know what this beer is going to get at the end.
So, accompianing me in this Monk made journey is a band called The Big Nose Attack. They make really good fuzzy blues rock, but it is mixed in with some weird sounding stuff. I actually like it quite a bit, I may buy the album.

I'm onto their second album now, much better than the first. Kind of hard to believe they're a Greek band sometimes. Although, the second album has much more Greek influence, which is part of what makes it better, I suppose. They dropped the weird stuff at least.

Well, it's out, I'm sad to say. Good job CHIMAY, you did not fail me again.

I give this beer my blurry seal of approval.
