Christoffel Bier / Blond

creative for a pills, a bit darker and with less clarity than the others. floral and green in aroma but not lacking the nice bitter hop finish. almost alpine in some ways.

hazier and darker than a traditional pilsener with huge white head. flavor is of munich malt, more pronounced than the traditional pilsner malt component and finishes with a prominent hop bitterness before a dry ending. very nice version

Pours a hazy golden beer with a dense head. Aroma of flowers, straw, grass and fruits. The flavours are bitter, pine-like on a caramel-base.

(3/13/08) Bottle at Gollem in Amsterdam. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Floral aroma of hops. Great flavor which starts malty sweet and continues with bitter fresh hops flavor and some fruits. Medium-bodied. Good stuff.

Bottle. Interestingly enough, when I popped the swing top on this the rubber gasket stayed near glued to the bottle and only the plastic came up. The pressure inside the bottle and the now very small opened created about a 1" fountain of foam that sprayed everywhere. Good times.

Barring that, there was surprisingly little head on this. Flavor is ultra-biscuity and great czech hops, with a unique nutmeg and cinnamon-raisin bread aroma that is very pleasant. Goes down real easy. This stuff is great.

Bottle, 33 cl. (bought @ Hopduvel) Aroma, little spicy, hops, malts. Medium body. Taste sweet, malts, well balanced, good hoppy beer, long bitterness. Nice one from Holland.

A dark blond beer. It’s not hell at all. It has a rocky large white head. The aroma of hop is all around, also some fruits, like grapefruit. The taste has a nice bitterness. In the background some sweet, not to much. A very good beer for a warm summerday. I thought that the beer, in the past has more bitterness.

Pale amber color with a rich creamy head. Has a musty cellar, hoppy spice smell. Medium bodied and smooth. Has a grassy, skunky taste which is spot on Heineken. Finishes crisp and bitter. 2137
