Tap@Cafe Langebro, Copenhagen (08/07/2017) - pours gold with a white head. Citrus fruity notes of lemon and satsuma, malty and yeasty, nice subtle spicy hop bite, hoppy moderate bitter close. Very tasty.

From old tasting notes. Cloudy gold color. Big rocky off-white head. Fruity citrus malt aroma. Bittersweet malt flavor with notes of lemon peel. Intense bitter finish and aftertaste. From start to finish, there is a dramatic contrast in the texture of flavors. All in all, the citrus overtones are dominant. Notes of lemon, orange and grapefruit. Very good.

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is medicinal, alcohol malt. Rather like a malt liqour but without the alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a big malt, yeast, aromatic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

33cl bottle, labeled as Christoffer Blond. Clear pale golden, with a tall, fine-grained white head with good retention. Smells like pilsner hops, honey, malt sugars and some generic hops. Bitter-sweet and as far away from a pilsener as I ever had, crisp and refreshing, with notes of bitter hops, honey, green hops and sugar. A bit spicy in the aftertaste. Very nice.

0.33 l bottle from ’Van Bieren’ as ’St Christoffel Blond’ at 5.4% abv, best before October 2017 (so five months old I guess). Minimally hazy, straw yellow with a medium large, foamy, stable, white head. Fruity-grassy, slightly floral aroma of lemon peel, fresh cut grass and some grapefruit. Sweetish, already slightly bitter, fruity-floral, moderately grassy taste of lemon peel, grapefruit, some honey and straw, followed by medium long, dry-bitter and grassy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very fruity and refreshing, reveals again how nice unfiltered Lagers can be.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 10/07/2017. Clear oily golden, little white bubbles, small. Noise is oily, vegetable, corn with big floral hop profile, herbal, grains. Taste is sweet cereal, grains, honey, very oily, big floral & weed bitterness, weeds, strong bitterness, caramel, cornflakes,… Lingering hop profile. Complimentary sparkling cereal & grains body. Dry. Interesting, you need to get a bit into it. The best way I can describe this one is by saying that it is like pale lager but good. No flaws, rich, big hops but still comparable elements just none of the flaws or usual awful notes. Very big hops. Interesting.

Bottle from Sterk in Amsterdam. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of light stone fruit and mild, pale malt. Med body, but the carbonation level helps with that. The flavor is spicy, fresh stone fruit with some pale malt which provides adequate support for the fairly strong hop load. Granted it’s bottom fermented, but it drinks like Belgian Ale. Calling it California Common would seem a bit odd, but it does suggest a spicy Anchor Steam. Good stuff in any case.

Tap at ‘t Arendsnest. Hazy orange gold color with a creamy white head. Light stone fruit aroma with a hint of citrus. Rather bitter and fruity flavor. Something of citrus rind. Finishes nicely bitter. Refreshing.
