Fond memories of this beer from my youth on a trip to Paris. So lets see how it rates. Golden in color with a touch of orange. Thin head. A bit of a malty grassy aroma with a bit of sour milk thrown in. Mildly carbonated and light on the palate. Light on the bitterness with slight grassyness. It could be a bit better.

Very pale golden, foamy white head. Nose has some malts and little grassy hops. Quite neutral. Flavor lightly malty, some mild citric/fruity notes, very little bitterness. Strangely shows a little warming alcohol even. Light bodied with strong but quite soft carbonation. Light and neutral, somewhat refreshing.

En cannette. Corps de couleur jaune doré, elle possède un mince col qui disparaît rapidement après quelques instants. Nez un peu amer mais doux tout à la fois. Arômes de malt, de blé et de légères touches de caramel et de métal. Le goût est assez quelconque, quoi que beaucoup mieux que bien des lagers américaines.

Two 300ml bottles at Cafe Rouge in Oxford. Clear golden body with one-finger, white head. Aroma of hard water and light hops. Sweet corn-like flavour with noticeable hops. Thin-medium texture. Standard, food-friendly lager (16.03.2008).

The skunk aroma hits youe 3 feet away from the pour out of the bottle. Must be a good pils, right? I mean, it looks like it comes from a brown bottle, but upon closer inspection, that bottle is green. That means premium, right. Oooh, this beer is must going to be good. Pours totally clear golden piss yeloow, no bubbling, no carbonation, and no french balls. 1 inch empty bubble (that’s my terms for a head with no balls), foam head. Smells like corn. Taste like, water, corn leftovers, and corn malt. Wh? Why bother brewing a beverage like this. Must sell large infrance due to a "We wish we were bigger that Texas" marketing campaign. God, I am relentless against these imitation, American, crap, PALE, lagers, (lager for crap).

Draft at Fiddlestick’s in the Village NYC. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting a lot from this lager. And, not suprisingly, it didn’t have much to offer. It is a light golden lager, with a foamy head, weak nose, and a flavor to match. This brew is filled with a good bit of corn sweetness and a bit of a grassy fake hop note. Hmm, I wonder why. Hop Extract?? Are they first time home brewers? When in France, stick with the wine.

Kronenbourg 1664 is the Miller Lite of French beers. The color is a clear yellow with a white head. The aroma is watery with a little bit of a bitter undertone. The drink is watery with notes of metal and corn while being easy to drink.

I do think this is one of the better poor metallic thoroughly average lagers you can buy in almost any crap pub in England. That isn’t saying much though. Drinkable I suppose, don’t want to really slate it but in a decent pub I’d never buy this.
