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.

My favorite of the dutch pils, and probably one of my favorite pils period. pours a dark golden color with a pretty potent hop and malt aroma. Flavor was remarkably complex for a pils. Really nice grapefruit and earth from the hopping, which someone told me was sazz, and really really nice doughy malt. Actually had a nice body as well. World class, refreshing, pils

Poured a hazy golden color. Aroma was fairly faint. A little hops, a little biscuit. Fairly thin. Flavor was more of the same. Very mellow beer to the point of being almost. . . shy. There were some good qualities here, but they were in hiding.

Hazy, lemon meringue yellow, beautiful head and lace. Aroma dripping with saaz, floral and maybe some earthy hop aromas. Medium-light bodied, excellent pale/pilsner malts, slightly sweet matching and balancing the sharp but scrumpous hops that linger forever. Immensly flavorful for a pils, world class and the only thing approaching is prima IMHO.

This is a good pilsener. Spicy, pine, and slightly bitter. Finishes crisp, clean, and dry.

Not what I expected from the describtion at my LCBO. Lotsa head. Initially sweet, but finished nicely bitter. Some citrus. Good summer beer.

Bottle. Brown gook on flip top. Beer looks like apple juice/thick cidery (mebbe lots of yeast). Dutch beer that tastes like it apparently conforms to reinheisgebot because it’s a province close to Germany. Fun to drink a beer that has a recipe it does due to importation regulations of hundreds of years ago? Sharp cheese palate bite, fresh yeasty water, salted with hops and a light crisp barely. White head. Quite a nice little wonder - I imagine I’ll be drinking many of these this summer, and then start homebrewing my own in the flip tops! Very, very nice for a pilsener, probably the best I’ve had to date. Might help convert beerophobes that imported stuff is worth it.

The bottle pops with a sound like a bottle of champagne - very loud! Pours with uneven head and a messy look. Very bitter and too alcoholic for my taste in pilsener.
