Christoffel Nobel

Brewed by Sint Christoffel Bier
Style: European Strong Lager
Roermond, Netherlands

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a thick dark blond color and a shoppy bitter taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a flavour touch. This beer smells malty.

This cloudy orange beer poured with almost no head and a strong sour toffee aroma. The flavor is musty and chalky, but is actually quite tasty. There is a lot of hop presence, mostly aromatic but with some bitterness. This is like no lager I have had, and is really difficult to describe.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours a dirty, hazy orange amber with a runaway head. Light fruity aromas. Medium body with mild carbonation. Peachy! A bit tart. Then it moves on to suggest earth or tobacco. Then it mellows out to a light stone fruit aspect. It is bitter, but mostly floral along with something suggesting citrus. It’s tough to describe. It is very good. Finishes delicious.

Bottle. Hazy amber beer with an off-white head. Light PNW hop aroma with grass and caramel. Caramel and light PNW hop flavor. Medium bodied. caramel and light citrus lingers with some light grass.

very very cloudy orange with a thin white head. aroma is fruity apple and grassy hop, some bready malt as well. flavour is sweet medium maltiness with fruity tones. some yeastiness and a light grassy finish. Alc is well blended and the beer has a good balance.

Cloudy orange color; big head. Big hop aroma, fruity, grassy, earthy. Medium body, not enough malty, strong bitterness, with a lot of hop oils but less aromatic than expected. Powerful but not impressive.

Bottle. Vibrant golden coloured beer with a strongish head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is very well hopped with a malty spiced and bitter finish. Overall a good beer.

Fully hazy, but sample was a bit shaken. Muddy orange beer under fine yellow head. Grassy, garden herbs - and discreet exotic fruit. Strangely enough not really hoppy smelling. Yeast esters, yes. Grapefruit, freshly pressed as flavour. Now here are the hops. The yeast notes are there all the same. Some healthy earthy undertone, too - good! Quite carbonated MF, and medium bodied. Long lasting bitterness. Nice beer - as to be expected from the Christoffel brand. Or ought I to write Brand?
