Pale yellow, fizzy white head. Corny nose with some hay. Somewhat malty flavour with a little sweetness. Fairly hoppy at the end.

How can a place like France, so close to the Belgium border, create such a concoction so horrible that thirsty nomads in the Saharan desert wouldn’t drink? I mean really. Someone in France make a beer that doesn’t taste like crap. Please. Aroma of grainy mildewy, rotten skunk. A lifeless, golden hue with no bubbles and little head. A watery grave of a mouthfeel, so thin that it’s water like. An unpalatable, malty sweet skunk that is just simply not pleasing at all. This would have been a drainpour had I not paid for this.

I’ve always wanted to try this beer, since we couldn’t get this in Illinois, so I drove across the border to Kenosha, Wisconsin to get a 6-pack. Bottled. Pours an amber body, and a frothy head. It had a strong skunky scent, so I prepared for the worst....tasted pretty good! Strong hoppy taste and an astringent finish. Pretty refreshing! I wasn’t disappointed. Now that I had Kro 1664, I could finally now drink "real beer."

33cl bottle. Very good standard lager, excellent with curry’s or anything else spicy that needs a decently strong beer to soothe the tastebuds.

Light malt and spice nose; dull body and light spicy finish, clean and pretty weak; not terrible, but another dull one.

another uninteresting lager, very easy to drink in large quantities. Should be cheaper

bought on can head is not very impressive clear-golden smells hoppy and malty,smellssweet tasts hoppyer than it smells,but not very hoppy,tasts less sweet than it smells,some hidden bread-taste. aftertaste hoppy and a bit of bread-like taste too. not very complex flavours but refreshing,not bad.better than much other ,more booring lagers.good to drink on a warm summerday outdoors,perhaps with a meal from "alsace2(the french region where it comes from),for example "flammkuchen",but not a beer to drink in the evening with good friends for discussing about the taste.

A french beer in my best beer. Incredible. I compare this beer to "Bass" beer. Great color, strong but great taste. You need to try this beer. I don’t really agree on the rating of 2.32.
