Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a very dark ruby with a medium sized foamy cream head and good lacing. Berry fruits to the fore in the aroma, plus cola and toffee. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a deep creamy texture. Flavour has floral hops, citrus, berries and some underlying malts. Hints of nuts and marmalade come through later leading to a decidedly dry and tangy finish. This is decent – an unusual combination of flavours and the expected Union depth.

Very good, dense, just yellowish head over very carbonated, lightly hazy golden beer. Coriander, pale malts. Much coriander. Too much coriander. Coriander, bit soapy flavour. Faint white candi sugar and restsugars. Very creamy feel, slick, velvety head. In essence, this is the 175 reappearing as a regular portfolio beer. And exactly as poor. --- Beer aliased from original tick of 175 (Blond/Blonde) on 01 Nov 2025 at 09:49 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Good dense white head over very carbonated, faintly veiled golden beer. Perfumey with quite a lot of coriander, fake citrus. Soupy. Coriandersoup, even way more than usual from Chimay. Fake citrus in loco of complex aromas. Almost overcarbonated, slick, medium bodied; creamy feel from the head. Bon Dieu, sauvez-nous! A trappist brewery making a special anniversary beer, and turning out something dull as from an international macro. Completely commercial, even for Chimay standards. Txs to Stef!
