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.

330 ml swing top bottle from Beers of Europe. Good flavour - good dose of hops. A hearty and very drinkable strong lager with a lovely lingering hop bitterness. Good fruit, good carbonation. All lagers should be like this. Excellent.

04-Feb-08 (330-ml swing-top bottle: Purchased 18-Nov-07 for $3.79 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) The beer pours golden-amber in color and very cloudy from visible chunks of suspended particles. Not what I would expect from a "blond" lager. The off-white head, however, is tall and creamy, very gradually settling to a thin layer and wide ring with large patches of dense lace left on the glass. Smelling the beer, the hops aroma dominates and is redolent of dry hay and musty magazines stored up in the attic, but the nose also offers a bit of sweet honey-like maltiness in the background. The flavor is more traditional lager: clean, grainy malts with minimal sweetness, but this is balanced wonderfully by bright, grassy, moderately bitter hops. A slight toastiness emerges in the finish as the beer warms a bit. Dry, dusty and slightly chalky mouthfeel, clean bitterness and moderate carbonation complement the medium body of the malty base for a beer that is refreshing, easy and fun to drink.

Bottle, from BSF at the GBBF. Pale honey pour with a lot of clean white ultra-fine head. Herb garden on a cold dewy morning, tangerine, a little bile note. Ultra-soft grainy malt sweetness blended seemlessly with minty herbal hops. Hopping is brisk, but the balance still leans slightly toward malt. Lingering husk and mint. Well-crafted and interesting.
