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.

Darker golden body with mini floaties. Smaller white head. Aroma is saaz hops with some citrus and floral notes, reminds of good wheat beers. Hoppy flavour with some sweetness in the malts for a nice balance. A tad of spice on the end. This is nice pil.

It’s a pity that they went with "Blond" instead Pilsner as it is a terrific example of the style. At first I was put off by this beer, putting it up against Pilsner Urquell. I even remember thinking "pissy". But as it warmed it truly grew on me. I appreciated its sweetness that I had never known in a Pilsner and the orange zest is really interesting. So hoppy. I love hops. A really nice beer.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts, fruits, spices and hops. Flavour of malts, grape fruit and hops. Dry grape fruity finish.

TAP at the In de Wildeman, Amsterdam. Pours a hazy dark apricot colour with a thick and creamy white head. Produced amazing lacing in the form of perfectly formed rings of foam around the glass. Aromas of wheat and honey. Overwhelmingly delicious flavours of peach and apricot. Delicately floral but neither excessively sweet nor bitter. An excellent beer that is extremely drinkable and refreshing.

Sweet bready malt nose covered by floral and herbal hops - the kind of Pils aroma favored by this hophead. Clear golden body topped by a huge creamy head, well retained and solid in its lacing. The flavor is honey coated fresh bread with great big gobs of hops, floral, herbal, and grassy. Nice lingering bitter finish. This should be sold in sixers in the area.

Slightly hazy, straw coloured body with a medium size white head that lasted the full distance. At first I didn’t like this but then it quickly grew on me. Pleasant hops on the nose, hops in the taste as well, oily, a touch of lemon and some residual yeast. This beer will turn some people on and maybe turn some off, and as I said it did grow on me.

Swing-top bottle: Slightly hazy, golden coloured, stable, fluffy white head; distictive big floral hoppiness in the nose, grains and dust, too; distinctive dry, bitter flavour, medium bodied; long lasting, dry, aromatic hoppy finish. Very hoppy=very good !
