Kronenbourg 1664

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

Weak in both aroma and flavor, if you close your eyes, you might detect some hops...

From a tin can in the Eurostar - 2.85 Euro for 33cl - but in truth, it was complimentary of the company... masochism for Ratebeer. Colour is arbitrary. God only knows. Nose of pale malts, grainy. I want to smell metallic, but that's prejudice. Taste is very grainy, malt, with quite some sweetness. Bitterish-metallic (this time, no mistake) finish. The metallic tang is more than just the tin can. There's an unrefined hop idea floating around, making everything harsh. Very unpleasant aftertaste, harsh without even bitterness. Light bodied, thinnish texture, the malts notwithstanding. As said, it was for free.

Bottled, pasteurised. Golden yellow with highly carbonated head. Chemical nose then a sweet sugary malt flavour. Saccharine overnotes and a fizzy finish.

refreshing

Bottle: Golden colour, big rocky white head; grassy, kind of perfumed nose (detergents ?); slightly malty start, thin bodied, nearly watery, a bit sticky; shy bitter aftertaste. A second one’s not necessary..........!

pale orange color. smells like skunky ashtray and moldy skunked old food. crisp flavor but really nasty too, skunked bottle oxidized flavor along with a pale grainy flavor that dulls the palate.

Bottle. Golden with white head. Malty aroma. Thin beer with some hop at the end. Nothing special to it, but it could be drunk as a thirst-quencher. (051920)

Golden colour. Very fizzy. Nice foam, that vanish fast. The aroma is somewhat skunky. (Might have been exposed to sun?). In the flavour the beer is sweet and dry. Not much bitterness in the aftertaste. An avarage beer.
