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.

A very good pilsener. Taste is perfect. There is one thing what is less and that is the bitter aftertaste.

Hazy golden colour; impressive head. Nice hop aroma. Full, extremely well-hopped and fresh taste with a firm finish. Very good drinkability.

A nice golden straw color with a good head. It showed some citrus aroma which followed through to the lemon notes in the taste. A refreshing beer that is great for summer months.

another beer drank at the ’t arndsnest in amsterdam on draft. not right for this genre of pilsener in comparison. more in the pale ale region mixed with your tradional belgium/dutch yeasts etc. had a murkyness to it with a large white lollippop head. notes of lemon and vanilla. suttle hop ’pop’ with some ligering bitterness. crisp and good.

From the "big dutch jug" ...A mild pour into my tulip glass reveals a cloudy honey colored beer with a fantastic fluffy long lasting cap...great lacing. Moderate carbonation. This is an elegant pilsner...unfiltered with lots of aroma and flavor. The aroma of peach and pine fill the nose..and the room with an opulant odor from hop and yeast. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy..substantial malts and infused or dry hopped process give a honey-citus/pine taste departure...finish is dry and the bittering in the finish grows. Notcher average pilsner.

Not your humdrum pilsner. In the large fancy growler container.Cloudy yeasty head of creaminess. Very smooth and well rounded drink with honey and lemon and orange citrus notes and peach mid-sip and bitterness in finish. Herbal tea and yeast.

Bottle. The liquid is somewhat cloudy; the colour is pale yellow with a tint of orange. The head is white, airy and rather large.

The smell is a bit… stuffy with notes of honey, banana-flavoured marshmallows and some metallic bitterness. Doesn’t sound that good, does it? But I liked it; the combination of flavours gave an inviting smell.

The carbonation is very fresh and quite strong, as one could have expected from a bottled conditioned lager. Big bubbles!

The taste is quite mild and fresh with a sweet body, some metal, and banana sweets. I think they have used more aroma than usual for a lager. It is not very bitter. The aftertaste is soft with some sweetness and a soft fading bitterness.

A different, but not convincing lager beer: I cannot really put my finger on why I didn’t like it more, I just didn’t.

Pale golden body with a thick and fluffy white head. Biscuity and buttery, grassy, light lemon zest, sweet honeysuckles and jasmine in early summer bloom…. This is an exceptional Pils, no doubt, probably the best I’ve ever undertaken!
