Christoffel Blond is a bottom fermented golden-coloured beer with a full body, a very balanced taste and a beautiful bitterness due to a generous addition of fresh hop during the brewing-process. The aroma is fruity and has a fresh taste with a pleasant, hoppy finish.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a hazy, light orange beer with a rocky, rich whitish head. The nose of pine needles, grapefruit, elderflower, oranges and peaches. Wonderfully hoppy, grassy, sappy with a transcendent delicate floral touch. Some lemon and yeast in the aroma too. The taste is extremely bitter with pine needles and grapefruit accompanied by oranges, lemon and elderflowers. Sappy, floral and wonderfully hoppy. Some marmelade combines with a crisp toastiness. Honey sneaking in after a few sips. This beer a perfect, beautiful lacing. A beer with a remarkable appearance. I’ m clearly giving 5 points here. The finish is very powerful, dry and bitter with hints of grapefruit, heather and lemon showing up. I wonder how high the IBU of this beer is.... Anyway, a great brew. After several samplings: Definately a great beer. Wonderfully bready with a sublime hop profile. Excellent. A lot of hemp and lemongrass showing up in both aroma and taste.

Hmmmm, bottle - grassy, grassy nose, like drinking a glass of mown grass mixed with miller. Can’t see why it is worth CAD$9

Bottle bought at the L.C.B.O. in Ottawa. The color is hazy honey with a thick white head. The taste is of hops and some citrus fruits. It is good as a pilsner wich is not my favorite kind but still good.

On draft at Arendsnest, Amsterdam. I’m not normally a huge pilsner fan, but there was something fresh and delicious about that ale that made me happy I was drinking it. I’d go back to it for a light night out if I had normal access to it. Tasty, fresh and hoppier than the average pilsner.

33cl bottle at Gollem, Amsterdam, 12-2-07. slightly hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma is very hop dominated - floral and herbal. Very fresh. The flavor is dominated by the hops, and I love it. Medium body. Simply the best pilsener that I’ve had.

Pours cloudy deep gold with a good sized off white head. Suprisingly sweet aroma, bread, dank hops. Taste is biscuty with a bit of spice, grass and must. Very interesting.

Have had thisone for beer-speeches some times and the crowd are always surprised. As mentioned, it’s a hopheads delight. Bitter as XX-bitter and hommelbier with notes of straw, good metal, perfume, bread, lots of ingredients and more, more, more. Great beer!
