Kronenbourg 1664

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

Clear straw colour, rather fizzy with tiny bubbles, no head but faintly attractive. Lively aroma once you get in close enough. Hits the back of your throat with the fizzy harshness of coke. Fresh taste at first but the afterwards it is metallic, probably from being served ice cold. European lagers - standard student fare, this is better then most though.

Nice Yellow pour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is Mild hops and malts. Flavor is true to the aroma. The malts are sweeter then expected. There is small hint of citrus through out. Body is on the thinner side. The finish is clean. Nothing too special, but a pretty solid beer.

Had on a plane on a flight to Europe. Fruity esters, slightly grassy hops, some hay and some sweetness. Pours with a creamy, white head that reverts to a film atop the yellow hued body. Suprisingly nice lacing. Taste is american macro style: not much aftertaste. A little fruit but mainly water. Some hay malts. Fizzy carbonation, but creamy. I have always liked 1664, brings back good memories.

Aroma was of hops and alcohol. Cheaply brewed as alcohol was the dominant taste. Color was golden with a white head. Very light and dry taste.

Pours a clear golden color with a longlasting white head. Sweet malty grassy aroma. Flavour is a bit malty, little sweetness, some hoppiness. Dryish hoppish finish.

Can-Airborn. Sweet lager with a very light finish. Not watery, not thin, just light. This made the plane ride ever so smooth!

12 oz bottle. I am not a pale lager fan but this one took me by surprise, I you can get by the skunky aroma it’s a very drinkable beer, Clear golden color with a rich malty after taste.

Pours a clear pale gold with small, sparce rising bubbles and a dense, frothy, white head that sticks around for quite some time. It eventually diminishes leaving some solid lace. The aroma is skunked, a real shocker for a bright green bottle from a mix-a-six shelf. ;) Once it "airs out", I get a light grainy presence backed by a touch of faint, grassy hops. Light-bodied and thin with soft, fine carbonation-nice for a pale lager-finishing clean and crisp with just a hint of metal. The flavor is a clean and crisp sweet malt front with a lightly grassy hop backing and far less "metal" than I detect in many widely distributed pale lagers. This one’s not too shabby. I like it enough that if I could find another single that has been better protected from light, I’d try it again.
