Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

Brewed by Kronenbourg (Carlsberg)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Strasbourg, France

Draft. Poured a hazy whitish-yellow color. Bubbly white disappearing head that left a bit of tattered lace behind. Strong lemony citrus aroma and flavor supported by only a touch of coriander and a little yeasty bread dough. More like a spiced lemon lime soda that a wit.

Light yellow color. Unclear. Has a white head, medium lasting. Aroma of citrus, flowers, perfume. A bid acidity, lemon, acetic-acid in flavor. Very carbonated.

From a can, hazy yellow with a nice head. Aroma was wheaty and citrus as was the flavour but with a syrupy fake sweeter note.

The clumsiest and most cynical attempt at a style I’ve ever encountered. Hideously sugary, neat cordial/ Rowntree’s pineapple jelly nose. A tongue-curlingly artificial attack of sicky citric fruit and vile aspartame bitterness. Redeemed only by a fleeting wheaty note after the swallow. It’s not often I find a beer genuinely offensive to the senses, but this is something else. A disgracefully chemical attempt to cash-in on the lucrative popularity of Hoegaarden etc. Smirnoff Ice and RWhites brew better beers than this.

Hazy yellow body. White head. Arom and flavor is very citrus and fruity. Frech but to much citrus..

(300ml bottle) Excellent fruity aroma. Nice, citrusy wheat beer with a hint of bitter. Fresh summer beer.

Cloudy and lemony with a hint of stable in the aroma. Quite thin but refreshing enough. Very yeasty.

Bottled. Muddy pale yellow, lively head. Candy and estery bubblegum up front. Sweet, fruity and sweaty with evident flavour of lemony washing up liquid. Mellow and unrefined, rather thin. Very artificial and cloying. Not refreshing at all. Mega-swill in disguise.
