After brewing and fermentation, CH’TI beers is kept for long weeks in storage tanks. In the calm and cool (0°C) environment, the beer matures, develops a finer taste, perfects its aroma and acquires its natural and characteristic sparkles. It is here also that the beer obtains its balance, finesse and gleam. The Blonde is brewed since 1979.

33 cl bottle, bought at a random shop in Gdynia, Poland. Clear golden, fairly big white head dissipating quite fast, leaving minor lacings. Faint aroma of dough, citrus, grass, cleansing agent. Taste is fairly stuffy and weak, citrus, orange, bread, grassy finish. Medium body with medium carbo. A bit pale, and no real direction or balance.

250 ml bottle from a French deli store in Vienna.
Golden, clear body, with a medium, frothy, white head.
Aroma of grains, sweet bread, citrus, grass, sweet malts.
Quite light taste of hay, bread, yeast, some citrus, moderate sweet malts.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes light, a bit bitter, grainy, bready, a bit fruity, slightly alcohol warming.

Good. Lighter than the ABV suggests, drinks quite easy. Taste is a bit too light for my liking actually. I’ve had better beers of this style, but not bad.
