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.

Hazy blond color; giant creamy head. Too light aroma, while the taste is much better, with a good malt line and a good (strong and partially aromatic) hopping. Long final as well.

A nice pilsener. Very hoppy and extremely dry. There is no doubt that this is a good beer. Bready palate and quite bitter notes.

This is a fine Pils, faithful to the style, and actually more aggressive than most European Pilsners. Plus, the beer is unfiltered, so it has that nice, murky look in the glass. If you like Victory Pils, you should like this one.

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.

Bottled. Copper/amber coloured, small white head. Sweet malts, some hops and fruits in aroma. Flavour is mainly flowery hoppy. Interesting Pilsener, I would say it’s more like IPA meets witbier or something like that. Oh well, still a pleasant brew.

Comparing to something i know, i would compare this one to tuborg guld (usually called guldtuborg). TG has a 5.6% alc. and this one has 6%, but carries those 6% with great style. The higher alc. (than 4.5 or so which i am most used to) is used to make a great taste, not to just make it stronger. Or so it seems. I get the feeling of a strong, mature, "i know what i’m about" beer, and it tastes like more. The bottle is nice too. We are not into something extarordinary, but TG is a favorite of mine, and this one is just as good, or better. Probably better. Taste is like a good gold beer. None of the bad things have happened to this beer, it is like a gold beer ought to be. It would be a great thing to get drunk with, on a carpet in the woods, a hot summer day, in good company. It has these extra nuances to the taste that are really great. You can explore this one. It has more to it than the first impression. Great beer of its kind. Not the kind of beer i really like, but one of the best i’ve had in that category. (i’ve probably tasted 30-35 different kinds in that category)

Bottle. Hazy golden with white head. Aroma of hops & malts. Medium carbation with a medium filling body. Fine pleasant lasting bitter finish.

Pours a clear gold with a small head and some lace. Slightly skunky, hoppy aroma. Tastes of fruit (apricot?) and well-balanced hops. Slight wheat-malt taste, and a great hoppy finish. Slightly creamy body, low carbonation, though. Overall, one of the better blond ales that I’ve had.
