VAN GRONDLEGGER LEO BRAND
Ondergistend. Ongefilterd. Dubbelgehopt met Magnum, Challenger en Saaz hop
Nagisting op de fles. Een dubbelgehopt pilsener bier met een aangename bitterheid van 45 EBU. Dit gecombineerd met een bitterfrisse, hoppige nasmaak en een alcoholpercentage van 5,4% , maakt St. Christoffel BLOND tot een toegankelijk en doordrinkbaar bier. Gebaseerd op het oerrecept van Leo Brand.

Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this before! Cloudy pale yellow with a big, firm and lasting white head. Spicy noble hops, a hint of citrus and a good dose of pilsner malt in the nose. Very bitter with a nice hop flavour. Refreshing, has a good body, and a lasting pine-hoppy aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy yellow colour with tight head. Aroma is a little musty with some lighter sweeter notes to be found too. Flavour has some floral hop. It’s a little sharp and zesty to begin with before strong hop bitterness dominates. This is a great thirst quencher.

[i] Bottle I think that I picked this up from the Dodgy Deli’, Cowely Road, Oxford [/i] Pours warm golden with large white head. Aroma hoppy, bit florally. This really tasted smashing and nothing like I’d expected especially for the style. This was a real hit, great hoppy explosion combining with some nice toasted malts a lovely lingering bittereness, quite fruity and very moreish, great beer!

Bottle Swing-top: Poured a hazy orange color with a thin creamy white head. The aroma is fruit, slightly veggy with notes of hops. The taste is a metal spicy full hopped flavor. Aftertaste is much more than could be desired.

Pour is a murky blond with a small soapy white head. Aroma is some fresh pils hops with a malty backbone. Flavor is more of the same and equal to the aroma. Plenty of dry hop with some malts and a dry chalk finish. Looking at the pour you would not think this would be a good pils but it fits the style well.

2005 12 oz. bottle purchased at Blue Max in Burnsville, MN shared with tjthresh. Pour is a cloudy yellow gold. Aroma has hops and quite a bit of malt. The taste was very big, hops, malt and an almost syrupy sweetness. Would love to try this fresh as a comparison, but this was a very interesting brew.

Dark orange beer with small, off-white head. Some hops, German obviously, a bit of ureum, but discreet, and a bit of garden herbs. Quite carbonated, grass, a remarkable toasted malts flavour; beautiful bitterness, remaining in the aftertaste, always accompagnied with a toasted flavour. Carbonated, a bit chewy, very rounded for a Pilsener. One of the best Pilseners in the Low Countries. Again in the style (after some poorer period) Leo Brand intended.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 2 Feb 2007) Golden amber colour with huge, lasting, white head leaving lots of lacing. Initially malty nose with notes of gooseberries and lots of dusty hops. Malty taste with notes of citrus, hay, white bread, toffee and lots of grassy hops (Saaz?) in a rather dry finish. Nice and malty pilsener with a lovely hoppy undertone.
