Commercial Description:
Unfiltered bottle.
Ingredients: Water, Barely Malt, Hops, Yeast.
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.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, dark tan with a thin head. Looks like no lager I’ve seen before. The aroma is raw grain. Very smooth and light body. More hops than the aroma would indicate. Finish is a bit long and stale.

I don’t know what the deal with this stuff is, but it is hands down the best "Pilsener" I’ve tried. Really really good. What’s up with this stuff? Almost in a class of it’s own.

Nice looking stout 11.2 oz bottle. Murky yellow to orange color with bright white head. Pale-grainy malt aroma with some hop notes around the edges. The flavor is pale malts, nice citrus/grassy hop flavor with a solid hop bitterness. There is also a pleasing breadiness too. Each taste ends with assertive hop bitterness. Nice beer.

Beautiful dark golden body, white head; Malty bitter fresh nose, complex and balanced; Lots of carbonation in a quite bitter body, perfect texture and carbonation; Very long bitter fresh finish, lots of both hoppy and malty aromas. Super beer and in this case a perfect festival starter!

To be brutally honest, this beer puts forth most of the qualities I dislike in a beer. It was excessively bitter, with a terrible soapy aftertaste. It did pour a beautiful orangey color, and had a rather nice head, but the positives end there. The carbonation is typical of a pilsner style beer, and the head fades pretty slowly, leaving a nice lacing. There’s a strong grass / plant sort of smell, and then the bitter soap taste kicks in and it’s game over. Every sip fades into a quick reminder that you shouldn’t take another. I’m sorry for the bad news, but I’m not sure why this beer keeps getting high ratings. As for the fellow with the post below me; it wasn’t a bad bottle, just a bad beer!

Best by Feb 2005. Cloudy orange body with a large head, decent lacing. Aroma is European hops with bready malts and yeast... also getting some aged hop notes. Flavor brings this with a fairly sweet finish. I wish I had this fresher as there was little to no bitterness or real hop presence. Rerate pending a fresh bottle...
