Kronenbourg 1664

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

Caramel aroma. Golden color, thin head, good lacing. Good flavor of grain and hops, but lacks character. Ordinary hop finish. Plenty of flavor, nothing at all distinctive.

Pours a nice clear gold color with a nice amount of bubbles and froathy white head. Aroma is sweet malt and nice hop notes, maybe a little saaz. Flavor is pretty watery but also nice and crisp and slightly sweet. Overall, and enjoyable lager.

Kroenbourg 1664 pours to a beautiful, bright, deep golden color, with a bubbly white head that fades, and a very lively carbonation. The nose on this beer is slightly herbal and grassy with some crisp, slightly sweet pale malt flavors coming through. The palate is firm, with some nice touches of pale malt flavors on the tongue. The body is round and clean on this beer making it very drinkable. Kroenbourg 1664 finishes slightly sweet malty up front, then ends a touch grassy with a sting of carbonation. This beer comes in at about 5.2% abv, so it is the type of beer you could have a few of with your meal.

Poured yellow in color with a small amount of head. A refreshing drink with minimal hop taste.

500ml can. Soapy whte head sits atop a lifeless golden body. Sweetish aroma (corn?). Weak malt falvours, some bittereness.

Dåse. Ikke en dårlig makro. Sødlig fra majsen med et meget diskret whiff af humle. kunne være dårligere, men bestemt også bedre.

From can. urine yellow/orange in colour. Crisp white head. Medium carbonation. Sweet honey flavour, slick syrup texture. Slight hint of malt. A little different than other lagers this style. A bit to chemically and not that good.

Overall Impression: I remember trying this for the first time and thinking: "Why am I drinking a French beer?" I stand by that question, I wouldn’t expect France to make good beer, and this is the only one I can recall ever drinking, and it wasn’t very good.
