Christoffel Bier / Blond

Slightly hazy, deep golden color with mostly diminishing, airy head. Aroma of earty yeast, honeyish malts, resinous, pine-like hops and just a slight grassiness. Amazing flavor of honey, sweet bready malts contesting with resinous, oily hops. Medium to full bodied with oily texture and soft carbonation. If i wouldn’t know about its origin i’d think that this one’s brewed in a small czech or german microbrewery. Wonderfully complex pilsner.

Strange. Unfiltered pilsnerer. It has a fruity(orange) and intensive aroma like a belgian ale. without head and lacing. The flavour was a bit strange for me, because i missed the hoppiness, what a pilsners main characteristic. Alcohol is well-hidden. Sweet aftertaste.

Bottle. Very sweet caramel, toffey aromas some chocolate. Taste is very much the same some hops but rather faint behind all the malty flavors. Full body for this style. Quite enjoyable.

Poured into a footed pilsner with aromas of malts and honey. There was no head at all, which surprised me. The aromas was sweet and so was the initial taste. The end was bittersweet with a hint of citrus lurking at the back of my palate. Not a bad beer.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours a pale golden beer with a firm head. The aroma is hops and flowers. The flavor is hops, citrus, elderflowers and honey. The palate is bitter and dry. Overall a good beer.

There are some really good flavours here, both hoppy and a yeasty fruity flavours. But somehow the balance is all off and it just doesn’t have that much going for it. I think that the flavour needs to be more focused with under/overtones, this is alright but just doesn’t work that well.

On bottle and on tap. Lovely blond beer with fine hoppy taste. A full coloured and full tasting beer.
