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.

Really nice. Cloudy gold with a persistent foamy head. A (and here’s a term only beer afficianados will understand) fresh skunky aroma with a nice scent of hops. Tastes hoppy with a bit of a zing that is almost citrussy. A very smooth aftertaste.

This is as pils will taste if it is unfiltered. What a difference. Netherlands is overwhelmingly a pils drinking country, and this is the best pils beer by a country mile. Immediate hop presence in the aroma, then sharp, mouth filling fresh hop flavour. Totally satisfying and the missing link which would appear to lager and ale drinkers alike. Broadened my horizons.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a thick diminishing white head. Excellent aroma of yeast, fruits and hops. Wow, the flavor is amazing, fruits, hops, yeast, spicy, that’s a pilsner ? The finish is mildly bitter. Medium body, dry mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Wow, this is excellent.

Opaque yellow, barely a veil of lace. Good hop presence, it smelled rather soapy, maybe a little straw in there too. The taste and palate reminded me of a lighter version of Duvel, some spicy yeast, and a bitter finish with a piquant of alcohol.
This is a Pils?? You could have fooled me! But I liked it.

Poured yellow with a medium white head. Somewhat skunky aroma. Lightly hoppy with a touch of coffee in the flavor. Lightly sweet finish.

Pour is golden yellow with a big nice white head...smell is very barnyard at first with straw and grass but some honey coming out as well...taste is an onslaught of sweetness with a grassy hop bitterness quickly counteracting the sweet...

[bottle at RBSG] Hazy, dark yellow with a thin white cover. Sour apple and weak aroma with a small amount of sweet malt and corn. The flavour is sweet malt and corn with some Saaz hops. Really this is the best classic American pilsner that I’ve ever had, with a bit more alcohol. The bitterness lingers a bit as if they do not have the right water or water treatment (too much sulfate?). Light body and medium carbonation. I could probably drink a lot of this stuff, but it’s really doesn’t have that much to it.

Bottle 03/05. Pour was a cloudy golden color with a thin layer of bubbly white head. Plenty of well-suspended specks of sediment. Strong herbal hops in the aroma as well as some citrus, darker fruit, and a pleasant overall sweetness. Crisp and light refreshing mouthfeel. Quite hoppy in the flavor from start to finish. Sweet malts were very well balanced in there along with the dark fruit. Crisp slightly bitter and fruity finish. This is the ideal summer session beer.
