Kronenbourg 1664

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

"Instant Pression" can courtesy of ogivlado who shared it with me and heavy (thanks!). Hmm, didn’t realize that I never had this beer before and I’ll probably rerate it if I find a proper can/bottle. Golden body, big thick white head that went away slowly. Yay, go technology, you’ve made it look slightly better than usual (probably). The nose is dusty, some weak maltiness and vegetabley hopiness. The taste is empty at first, but later turns out not to be the barren wasteland most nitro beers are, a bite is there, some sweetish eggy and grainy maltiness, weak lemony /herbal hopiness. Not offensive, not impressive.

Had this on-tap at a local bar that was advertising the fact they had it, like it was something special, served in a standard bar pint glass. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear oranged hued straw golden with a large fizzy head that left some ringed sticking. Had a funky, earthy hop with pale grain aroma, a mingling of the scents, a slight lemony yeastiness. Moderate carbonation and a slick, bland light bodied mouth feel, below average drinkability. An earthy hop taste at first, just a slight hop zing on the tongue, a bland graininess, a buried breadiness and a dry sour lemony finish with a little lingering earthiness in the palate.

Pours light golden with a dense white head that is mostly receding. Aroma of grassy herbal hops with some corn and DMS. Taste is a bit grassy and bitter with some adjunct maltiness. Mouthfeel is thin with lively, spritzy carbonation. This beer is very bad when skunked. Try to find fresh samples if possible.

Very light yellow with a thin white head. Weak perfume-y hop aroma. Tastes as thin as it looks with a mega-astringent and dry finish. Yuck.

don’t know what it is but i love skunky beer

But d’une canette, pas fameux, j’imaginerais que ce serait pire en bouteille (verte). Très faible, peu de goût. C’est dans la même catégorie qu’Heineken, une importée ordinaire dans une bouteille à la mode. Attrape nigo!

Bottle. Golden color with a big white head that disappears rather quickly. Grainy aroma with faint hints of hops. Sweet flavor with some corn and light bitterness and metal in the finish. Really thin and watery.

Pretty decient lager. Poured a clear golded color with a nice aroma. White head with good retention. Taste was light and malty with hoppy flavor characteristics....nit a bad beer. Also, the one I drank had no skunky flavor.
