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.

From a 330mL Bottle. Purchased at Holiday Wine Cellar 11/10/07. The date on the bottle is unclear, but this is definitely fresh. Pours a somewhat hazy, graham cracker hued gold with a thick layer of rocky ivory head. Baked french bread crusts and gentle euro hops mix together, creating an herbal biscuit image. Pleasant hop perfume, along with some doughy characters. Medium light bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel with a plush palate. Starts out with firm, baked bread pilsner malt flavor before transitioning gently into a mildly spicy hop finish. This is a longing desire to bake fresh bread in a brick oven on a warm breezy summer afternoon while enjoying the scents of summer float by on a gentle breeze. Lots of hop flavor without much bitterness. Finishes moderately dry, but clean. Simple, elegant flavors.

This was one of the bigger disappointments I’ve had recently. It tasted old even though I was assured by the beer shop it had just arrived. Pours golden blond with a sudsy white head. The aroma has pils malt, creaminess and light butter. Medium / light body with semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with a bit of cream, sharp citrus / lemon and light woodiness. The finish had some spice and mustiness. I was hoping for a crisp, grassy, hoppy pils and this didn’t fit the bill. If I can get a guaranteed fresh bottle I’ll gladly rerate.

Interesting beer. Grassy for sure but not anything I would call offensive in this impressive pilsner. Finely hopped and crisply dry.

golden withhuge white head, never fades, great lacing. Big floral/grass/hay aroma. Pils malt sweetness in the background. Flavor exactly as advertisedd. Some fruity esters to start, followed by a huge grassiness through the middle, floral kicks in again near the finish. Not as clean as I expected. Tad too much grass for my liking, otherwise decent.

De mémoire - Bière bien faite, meilleure très froide. Son amertume est un peu trop présente à mon goût. À consommer pour contrebalancer un repas aux parfums persistants.

Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding (Domhusgade). A light hazy pale yellow with a medium bubbly yellowish head. Aroma is citric with pineapple and a floral hoppy edge to it. Mouthfeel is very round. Flavour is a complex mixture of citric bitterness, malty caramel and sweetness as well as tones of honey, pine, oranges and spices. Very nice pilsner.
