The Chimay Triple recipe, as is often the case with labels that have shaped Belgian and world brewing history, dates back to 1966. Packaging in cans is a major novelty for the Trappist brewery. It is also known as Cinq Cents (i.e., Cinquecento), because it was presented in 1986 in the 75 cl format on the occasion of the five-hundredth anniversary of the principality of Chimay. The beer is a Triple, deliberately spelled in French because it comes from the southern part of Belgium, and it defines the characteristics of the Walloon take on the style: more fruity than spicy, less alcoholic and tending toward greater honeyed sweetness compared with the style's originator (Westmalle Tripel) and the typical Flemish Tripels.
