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 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.

some crackery lemon notes in the aroma, yellow with a thin white head, some bitterness potrudes through a soft creamy underbelly. probably deserves a higher rating but I sampled it at the RBSG tasting and it could in no way compete with the rest of the beers there

Bottle: Poured an hazy yellow color beer with a huge soft foamy head with great retention. Aroma of floral hops is clearly apparent but I couldn’t really detect any crisp malt and hops as with other pilsner. Taste is very refreshing with lots of malt and a mild bitter ending. Does not fit in my usual description of a pils but this was very enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle. Hazy yellow, creamy white head. I’m not great at identifying pils hops, but this was had a strong aroma - almost skunky but in a fresh way (???). Light mouthfeel but packs a lot of taste - very bitter, crisp and damn refreshing. Lingering hops at the end. An excellent pilsener.

Cloudy yellowish color. A piney pilsner with unique flavor. One of my favorite pilsners.

LCBO. In Christoffel glass. Hazy golden pils with a crenmy smooth white head. Herbal hops dominates the aroma with weedy notes. In mouth, like good scotch malt with nice crisp hops in mouth, which last and pleases the palate. Rich bodied. Wonderful pils!

330ml brown swing top bottle. Pale gold with a very slight haze. Sizeable white head, creamy, lasts a good while. Lightly herbal Saaz aroma. Malty, well hopped, bitterness takes hold in the finish. Soft carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. I was at first a bit worried with the high alcohol content, but alcoholic flavours were not noticable. Fantastic.

Swingtop bottle gives a nice pop, and pouring reveals a slightly cloudy, fairly thick pale golden pils with surprising individuality and refinement. I’m hop-blinded by the aromas and tastes, but the beer has balanced sweetness under there too. Honey and hay are in the aromatic flavors. Creamy feel with late bitter finish. Super fresh at LCBO when it arrives.
