Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Ch'Ti Blonde if you want a lighter, more delicate intro to Belgian pale ales,
Curtius Classic if you want fuller body and slightly more grip.
Both sit at the same bitterness level (25 IBU), so it's really about that 0.6% ABV difference—which translates to noticeably different mouthfeel and staying power. Ch'Ti punches lighter; Curtius fills more space in your mouth.

Ch'Ti Blonde
Ch'Ti Blonde has this almost ethereal quality—it's dry without feeling thin, with a clean grain backbone and just enough spice from the yeast to keep things interesting. There's a subtle citrus note that doesn't announce itself; you find it after a couple sips. The finish is crisp and forgiving, like it's not asking much of you, which is exactly when you reach for the next one.
Curtius Classic
Curtius Classic feels deliberately made for the moment you've decided to slow down. It's got more presence—a slightly honeyed sweetness underneath, a touch of herbal bitterness that rounds out instead of sharpens. The alcohol sits just visible in the warmth, giving it a sense of completeness. It's the kind of beer that rewards you for paying attention.
