Holland: Christoffel Blond, Bierbrouwerii St. Christoffel

Posted by Alan McLeod on Thursday, July 14, 2005 in Holland, Beer Reviews - leave a comment

This beer was just sitting there at the LCBO, 2.50 CND for 330 ml of 6.0% ale. Nice Dutch swing top. A homebrewer's delight. The lable says dubblegehopt bier or "double hopped beer". The brewery says the usual:

Blond has 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 Blond has a fresh taste with a pleasant, hoppy finish.

A big white mousse head over lively light straw ale. Rich grainy malt under metallic hops around a little heat. Some fair bit like a higher test Heineken. Extremely nice for those that like stainless steel in their hoppiness.
