{C} Curtius
Curtius is a blond beer brewed with a number of premium quality products with a light taste and refreshing flavors. Mixed with different malts of barley and wheat, its base grants it a pleasant lightness while the addition of aromatic hop blossoms gives it a subtly bitter, flowery and fruity flavor.
Its unique and progressive taste is the results of multiple fermentation steps, conducted during several months.
Curtius deserved a bottle of quality and prestige at the scale of its content. This is why we chose a 37.5 cl corked bottle, just like Champagne bottles. Naturally Curtius will also be available in barrels.
To enjoy all the flavors of Curtius store the bottle upright at room and stable temperature, hidden from daylight.
When tasting, once the bottle is properly chilled, untie the cork wire, take out the cork and serve Curtius Beer in its original glass. Avoid pouring the bottom of the bottle which contains the yeast dregs which gave its complexity to Curtius during its bottled re-fermentation.
Ideal temperature for beer-tasting : 6-8°C
Note: Draft version produced at Brasserie {C} in Liège, bottled beer brewed at Les 3 Fourquets (Lupulus) in Gouvy.

75 cl fles. Wazig goudblond bier met wit schuim. Geur: mout, granen, wat gist. Smaak: mout, tripelgist, ietwat groene appel, zweempje banaan, lichte hopbitterheid. Romig mondgevoel. Goede koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: droog, licht hopbitter. Blond degustatiebier met tripel allure.
Golden hazy with a frothy head.
Hoppy herbal smell. Hoppy taste with a sweet fruitiness and the typical spicy, candylike note of Belgian blonde ales.
A lovely beer.
Alone at home. Hazy blond colored beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Fruity nose. Full sparkling palate. Finish is hopped bitter sweet.
Bière sans intérêt.
Saveur pas désagréable mais très peu marquée, limite aqueuse, sur laquelle surnage un goût d'alcool bien trop proéminent. Amertume très légère. On appréciera au moins l'absence de sucre ajouté qui la rend au moins supèrieure aux plus basiques biéres de grandes distribution ...
Mais bon, vu le prix (!!!!) aucun mal à trouver infiniment plus qualitatif pour bien moins cher.
Ik vergelijk biertjes altijd met artisanaal, dit is hier zeker niet het geval, enige vorm van industriële aanpak in elke vorm van het bier.
Lett tåkete gulbrun med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter honning og aprikos. Middels fylde. Fruktig smak, aprikos og tørket frukt og noe lett bitter sitrusskall. Middels lang. Tørr. (Grûnerløkka Mikrobryggfestival 2019).
Bière liégeoises blonde douce manque un peu de caractère
Leicht trübes, gelbes Bier mit stabilem weißem Schaum. Etwas ausgeflockte Hefe fällt auf. Leicht bis Mittel Karbonisiert. Geschmacklich Richtung Weizen mit Kräutern. Sehr klar im Abgang.
Bière blonde bonne. Rien de très particulier, ni levure lourde, ni beaucoup d'arôme.
Copenhagen 12/1 2019. 37,5 cl bottle from Vinbørsen, Nordhavnsgade, Kbh Ø. Fine little bottle with a cork cap fastened with a metalnet. Tagline "La Bière Liégeoise".
Pours hazy pale yellow with a big white head. Settles as thin, flimsy layer of foam thicker around the side of the glass. Very moderate lacing.
Aroma is pretty light and fruity. Sweet peach, pear, white sugar. Light notes of citrus. Lighter yeasty notes of humid basement rummaging in the background.
Fairly strong carbonation. Slightly thick, very lively and prickly texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by a stronger tart, bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a tart edge. Finish is semi-dry.
Fresh, tart and fruity.
Bottle at home. Pours hazy dark golden with big white head. Aroma of flowers, apples and pears, light bread, coffee, pepper. Taste sweet and bitter with a lot of hops. Medium bodied, middels carbonation.
Draught.
Pours golden with a white head.
Aroma of citrus zest.
Light, dry brew, yeast, medium bitterness.
Bottle, Beers of Europe. Clear light golden colour, white foam. Nice fruity notes, pear drop. Light malty base, drinks lightly for strength, not that bitter but pleasant yeasty character. A nice blonde.
Une très bonne blonde, agréable à la dégustation et qui semble plus légère que les 7% mentionnés sur la bouteille. Elle se partage volontiers entre amis. Peu à en dire, le mieux reste de la boire.
Très belle mousse, tenace, robe blond orangée assez trouble, belle carbo. Nez riche: céréale légèrement maltée, levure, un peu de pain cuit, dominante de céréales cuites. En bouche, c'est extrêmement crémeux, la céréale domine nettement, très peu de piquant sur la langue. L'amertume éclot peu à peu dans la longueur, lorsque le malt s'estompe quelque peu. Le crémeux est étonnant, de même que la dimension "céréale". Pas d'arômes de fruit, ou de fleur, juste de la levure et du grain, avec le houblon qui souligne ça de manière fort subtile.
Bottle at Delirium Brussels. Pretty, cloudy blond with a low head. Light lemon and rich malt nose, biscuity. Bready, malty flavor, spicy yeast, lightly spritzy with soft, German-like malts. Nice but this was freaking expensive.
Bonne bière dans l'ensemble. Bon équilibre. Dommage cette pointe de cétone ou de peinture en arrière-goût, quelle déception car elle avait tout pour plaire.
Aroma: Medium lemon peel, spicy, floral. Medium-light fruity, pear
Appearance: Clear, golden body. Medium, white head. Fair retention. Small bubbles.
Flavour: Medium citrus, lemon peel, bready, floral, bitterness Medium-light crusts, pear, spicy. Dry finish with lemon, pear.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-high carbonation.
Overall: A well balanced, complex beer. Not quite as subtle as the style suggest, but not overpowering. Really enjoyable.
25A. Belgian Blond Ale
375 ml bottle, poured.
Tap @ Belgian Beer Weekend, Hibiya Park. Pours lightly amber, clear-ish, frothy white head. Nose is lightly Belgian, some yeast spices and caramel. Taste reveals caramelly and relatively sweet body, light herbal bitterness in the background. Drinks OK, not my favorite but nothing bad to say about this either.
Tap into a tap showing moderately filtered pale straw with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of clean sweet notes of lemon and flower.
The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Light Belgian yeast forwardness with a mild bitterness that reins in the sweetness. High alcohol.
37,5cl Bottle @ Beer Mania, Brussels, Belgium.
Hazy golden colour with a thin white head.
Aroma is malt, straw, citrus, yeast, spices.
Taste is malt, grain, sweet, citrus, yeast, coriander.
Medium body, average carbonation.
A la brasserie ardennoise en bouteille de 37,5 CL. Super équilibrée, bonne bière blonde un peu trouble. A 7%, peut être dangeureuse sur une terrasse...
Bottle. Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malt, wheat, hop. Taste: Medium sweet and medium hoppy, grain, wheat, notes of white sugar, yeasty and banana hints. Long lasting bittery palate at finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Easy drinkable blond beer with some complexity. Not that special, but quite nice. I like the balance between the grain, wheat and hop.
Bottled. A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of fruits, malt, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruits, malt, and yeast, leading to a dry finish.
hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized white head, which collapses quickly leaving back only some lacing; aroma of wheaty-grainy, moderate citrusy, floral, yeasty-earthy and maybe minimal fruity notes, taste of malty-candy sugar-like sweetness with some hoppy notes, some apricot (?), as well as citruses and earthy-metallic notes; quite enjoyable ale
Gekocht in de Delhaize van Dendermonde op 19-03-2018. En thuis geproefd op 5-05-2018. Curtius is een helder blond biertje dat bij het uitschenken een normale hoeveelheid wit schuim produceert in een gelijkmatige structuur. Het blijft op een normale wijze aan de glaswand kleven. Er zijn veel CO2 belletjes te zien van een middelmatige grootte. Na een tijdje zakt het schuim in tot een laagje van ongeveer 5 mm dikte. Ook zie je er gist in rondzweven. Het aroma van Curtius is suiker-zoet, hop- en gistbitter, citrus, tarwemout en een grassig kruidje. De smaak is zeer licht bitter en zoetig met nog het gist- en hopbittere en de citrus. In de mond geeft Curtius een volle body die na een tijdje wat afneemt tot medium, hij is bitterdroog en normaal prikkelend. Een onevenwichtig biertje, het aroma- en de smaakkwaliteit gaan zienderogen achteruit. In de nasmaak vind je nog het hop- en gistbittere terug samen met een klein droogje. Een eigenaardig biertje, het begin is goed maar naarmate de tijd verstrijkt vermindert de kwaliteit van het aroma en de smaak.

Bottle from the Offie, Leicester. Light golden, hazy with lots of visible carbonation and a fizzy white head. Light notes of lemon zest, hay, candy sugar yeast, vanilla, sweet spices in the scent. Sweet taste with some grain and yeast flavours, with the bitterness of a citrussy hop in the finish. The heavy carbonation and light body give in a pleasant effervescence that hides its strength. Good stuff.
Bottle. Light to moderate grain and hay for the malt, lemon and perfume for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with coriander and sugar in the background. Head is average to large, frothy, white, with excellent lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is murky yellow/amber, with some bits and pieces at the bottom. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly to moderately acidic and lightly bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery, with a lively to fizzy carbonation. A very nice drinking Belgian Blonde Ale, with some Tripel aspects to it.
