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.

330mL bottle: Clear orange-amber with white head. Musty aroma of fruits and nuts. Flavor is a bold, complex and very robust mixture of malts, hops and fruits. Has a lingering aftertaste similar to burnt rubber. Palate is light and water with hardly any carbonation. Good stuff, but not my cup of tea. A bottom fermented pilsener?

(Bottle). Semi-sweet aroma, very piney with some spicey fruitiness. Cloudy yellow-orange body, huge creamy white head. Flavor begins slightly sweet, with tart fruit, then transitions into delicious hoppy bitterness which persists throughout a lingering finish. A super lager.

<b>In short: </b>A fantastic pilsner with all the characteristics of a fresh draught bohemian pilsner.<br /> <b>How: </b>Bottle 330ml flip-top. Consumed fresh as soon as I received through private importation<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy dark blonde body topped by a large white head with good retention<br /> <b>In long: </b>Nose is noble grassy hops and meringue. Tasty cereals, light honeyed sweetness quickly taken over by the dry and slightly spicy grassy hops. Dry wood notes. Bready yeast or bready malts, I don’t know but bready something. Body is smooth and chewy and the carbonation is very lively. I’ve pub-crawled in Czech Republic and I find the Christoffel to be the most authentic Czech draft Bohemian Pilenser that I’ve had in the comfort of my home. And the beer is not from Czech Republic, it’s not draft and it’s officially not even a Bohemian Pilsner. WTF? Ok, maybe I also find Taco Bell’s to be the most authentic typical Mexican homemade food.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a golden yellow with a white head. Aromas of bread/malts/hops. Crisp hop flavor with hints of fruit/malt.

Bottle. Moderate hoppy, light citrus, very spicy. A very large white creamy head, very long lasting. The body is yellow. A very hoppy taste with a very bitter finish. The duration is long. Very dry texture, light creamy, lively carbonation, medium body. A good beer.

Poured cloudy straw coloured with frothy head which quickly disappears. Aroma was sweet and yeasty. First impression is sweet and mellow with little bitterness but finishes herbally with increasing bitter aftertaste. Very unusual beer.
