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.

Cloudy golden with a huge pillowy white head displaying excellent retention. Massive aromas of sourdough and spices. Doughy malts, herbal spicey funky hppiness and a lip-smacking bitterness. Amazing!

Huge white head, little hazy golden colour. Flowery, herbal and a weak grainy aroma. Not that clean, in nose as in mouth. ********RE-Rate********** Nice honey malt aroma mingling with a assertive Saaz hoppiness. Starts a bit grainy but still sweet towards a dry hoppy bitter end. Nice one.

Bottled. Thx Gustaf. Hazy golden with a small, white head. Slightly sourish with fresh hops and berries. Really dry and bitter finish with some butterscotch.

Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this before! Cloudy pale yellow with a big, firm and lasting white head. Spicy noble hops, a hint of citrus and a good dose of pilsner malt in the nose. Very bitter with a nice hop flavour. Refreshing, has a good body, and a lasting pine-hoppy aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy yellow colour with tight head. Aroma is a little musty with some lighter sweeter notes to be found too. Flavour is a little sharp and acidic to begin with before a strong hop bitterness dominates.

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.
