Christoffel Bier (Blond)

hazier and darker than a traditional pilsener with huge white head. flavor is of munich malt, more pronounced than the traditional pilsner malt component and finishes with a prominent hop bitterness before a dry ending. very nice version

Pours a hazy golden beer with a dense head. Aroma of flowers, straw, grass and fruits. The flavours are bitter, pine-like on a caramel-base.

(3/13/08) Bottle at Gollem in Amsterdam. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Floral aroma of hops. Great flavor which starts malty sweet and continues with bitter fresh hops flavor and some fruits. Medium-bodied. Good stuff.

Bottle. Interestingly enough, when I popped the swing top on this the rubber gasket stayed near glued to the bottle and only the plastic came up. The pressure inside the bottle and the now very small opened created about a 1" fountain of foam that sprayed everywhere. Good times.

Barring that, there was surprisingly little head on this. Flavor is ultra-biscuity and great czech hops, with a unique nutmeg and cinnamon-raisin bread aroma that is very pleasant. Goes down real easy. This stuff is great.

Bottle, 33 cl. (bought @ Hopduvel) Aroma, little spicy, hops, malts. Medium body. Taste sweet, malts, well balanced, good hoppy beer, long bitterness. Nice one from Holland.
