Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

500ml bottle. There are similarities between this and Hoegaarden. There is a large white head, followed by yellow/orange colours. The taste is of a sweet citrus flavour, notice some lime, lemon and orange. A bit too like sweet orangeade for me Bottle is unique though.

Huge, dense head leaving shards of lace over hazy greenish-yellow, nearly fluorescent beer. Spicy, coriander in particular, soupy, faint (fake) citrus, but fresh-smelling. Wry, spicy taste. Coriander still obvious, but not imposing upon all other flavours; as the earthy, root-spice flavour proves. Faint citrus hints, as from diluted, sparkling lemonade. Refreshing, wheat slickness, creamy texture of the head, but empty in the end. Light, typical summerwheat for as large a public as possible.

24.01.2007, 0,33l bottle, Cardinal, Stavanger. The beer is yellow and hazy. The smell and the aroma is dominated by lemon and apple.

A wonderful wheat beer that ranks right up there along side some of the great German and other continental wheat beers such as Hacker Pscorr Weiss beer, Erdinger and the classic Belgian Wheat beer Hoegarden. It has a wonderful texture and crisp fruity citrus flavours as it hits the palate. A truley wonderful beer!
