Re-rate 3/21/12: Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentine. Thanks troubles. Hazy golden. Aroma of prickly pear, other fruits and a bit of alcohol. Sweetish fruity flavor with a slightly drier finish with a bit of alcohol. Light to medium-bodied. Very different from last time. 5/3/4/3/9=2.4
[9/23/10] Bottle at a friend’s place in Amsterdam. Lovely hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma is somewhat spicy with hops, alcohol, citrus, some grass and yeast. Spicy alcoholic flavor with some yeast, a bit of sweet malt and caramel hints, a bit of fruit and a peppry, alcohlic, bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. Too much boozy spiciness for me. 6/4/5/3/10=2.8

clear dark nutty brown, small film smooth light brown head. looks very good, but i could use a little more head. sweet malty, nutty, very faint dark fruity aroma, alcohol, sugar in the aroma. flavor is dark caramel, weird faint flowery sort of hoppy note, faint dark fruits, syrup, faint nuts. This dutch interpretation (called bok) of the german bock style, is a little different than the german ones i’m used to. nice woody bitter caramelly bitterness towards the end. Beer tastes better and better as i get used to it. good winter season beer.

Hazy gold with a puffy white head. Aroma of lemon zest, melons, herbs. Lightish texture for a 6% lager is slightly creamy. Taste has mellow stone fruits and pronounced but gentle bitterness. Finish is very nice - not sharply bitter and not quite dry but with lingering herbs and earth. Good balanced beer that leaves you with a mouthful of classy hops. Not really what I’d expect to find in a bottle.

Bought this 2 Litres jug with flip-top a couple of Christmas’ ago and cellared it. Pours a ruby-amber colour with an nice beige creamy head that has good retention. Mildly carbonated and lacing is left behind. Beautiful nose with fruits (on the red apple side), nut, brown sugar and darker malts. OK, maybe it was more than a couple of years... as I taste a little sourness (which I assume is not usually there). Other than that, same stuff found in the aromas. Nice hazelnut finish. As always, I do like these Christoffel brews (but with a big bottle like these, you have to find the time for it). Unfortunately, I took too long.

cloudyyellow, small white head. 2 very faint aroma. Faint flowery. 5 flavor is sweet, caramal, flowery and strangely bitter hops. Herbal. Not very nice really. The floral bittersweet flavor leads my thoughts towards vomit.4

Purchased a long time ago, around Christmas at the LCBO, and comes in a beautiful white ceramic 2 Litres bottle with a swing top. Wow... still good after all that time. Pours a golden-brown colour that is clear at first and gets hazy as you pour more. Great foamy-soapy white head that stays a while and creates patchy and chunky lace. Very nice smelling brew with the usual Pils nose and notes of citrus and hop with a touch of honey. Lovely tiny bubble carbonation with a refreshing winter mouthfeel. Magnificent taste of a pilsner with some nice grain, grassy hops and even hints of coffee in the aftertaste. A very well-balanced brew that I would love to try again... but not sure if they are still making this one (or if it will ever come to Canada again). A nice winter pils with a little punch that is nicely spiced.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours hazy amber with a faint, filmy white head. Sharp malt aroma with floral notes and some citrus hops. Flavor is quite sweet with more citrus and florals. Medium bodied with average carbonation and some warmth. Finishes sweet with malts and fruit. Very nice.

Bottle from Bier Konig in Amsterdam. Wonderful fresh hop aroma--noble, with citrus, pine. Dark yellow, a dull pastel, with a high, fine head. Lovely pine hop flavor, citrus, grass. Fresh but not green or medicinal. Nice pils malt, light sweetness, some honey and fruit--slight bt of tropical fruit. Peppery, tangy finish. Wonderful hoppiness, moderate bitterness. Wow! Great.
