According to BLAM, the OG is 1.069 and FG is 1.007 and  IBUs are 35.  The other details are sketchy, with rumors about using wheat starch being thrown around and refuted. 

I think Pilsner malt and sugar (10 - 15%) is a good compromise, and Hallertauer hops as well as WLP500.  Beveragebob's recipe looks good except that I think the gravity is high.

"with rumors about using wheat starch being thrown around"

Sounds like your talking about a Wit perhaps?

No according to BLAM, Chimay is using wheat starch as part of the adjunct but are perhaps less than open about it.

Thanks guys. I didn't think the recipe would be complicated. I'll skip the wheat starch for the time being.

Guess I'll have to pull BLAM out of the box I haven't opened since moving. Seems like when I open boxes up it's time to move again
