Kronenbourg 1664

Brewed by Kronenbourg (Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Strasbourg, France

se inclui na ampla categoria de cervejas que não apresentam grande diferencial. Apresenta espuma inicial de aparência grande, coloração branca, excelente formação de colarinho e boa longevidade do mesmo. O corpo apresenta boa claridade e densidade rala, com coloração amarelo-média (2/5). O aroma mais presente é clássico pão claro, com algumas notas cítricas, frutadas (3/10). O sabor inicial apresenta leve amargor, bem como o final, de curta duração (3/10). O paladar é composto de um corpo leve, de textura aguada, carbonatação gasosa e final gizoso (talvez a única característica que fuja um pouco da ’forma’ das Pale Lager).

Nice out of bottle or on tap . New chiled verion on tap in County Hotel, North Berwick. Citrus comes through, especially on tap. Bottled not too far behind. I hate the cans immensely.

One of the worst lagers around is Kronenbourg from France. Typical lager tasted and apperance - quite a strong flavour compared to some lagers but no real surprise given its 5% ABV. I’m afraid I cannot be drinking Kronenbourg again it is well known for its hangover effects and having quite a lot of chemicals in so I would recommend avoiding this beer whenever possible.

12oz bottle. Pours an effervescent clear straw color with a good white head. Aroma is light and somewhat sweet, with a smell of malt, earth, floral hops, and an odd skunkiness. Taste is fairly full, with a malty body predominated by a mingling of sweet hops and earthy grains and yeast. Thoroughly average overall, and actually rather good for the style.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. Aroma is malty and hoppy skunky.

Flavor is hoppy, crisp and watery. Nothing offensive here. This is completely drinkable for the genre. In fact, I could probably sling back a few of these in the hot summer sun, or the bleak darkness of the winter.

Another good drinking, summer lager. Goes down smooth with a taste of hops but not overbearing. Light, golden in color with a slight head. Much better than bud, but in the same class.

Available everywhere in France. Like the French Budweiser I suppose. Tastes a bit better, much more tolerable beer.

Draft in NYC. Aroma very subtle, slightly floral. Pours a light golden color, somewhat appetizing. No real discernable taste, but seeing as how so many other pale ales taste so bad, thats not necessarily a negative. Palate was smooth. Not a bad beer but nothing too special, very easy to drink.
