Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

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

Draught. Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Fruity aroma with lots of citrus. Sweet malty flavor with lots of citrus and coriander. Sweet malty citrus in the aftertaste.

Bottled. Hazy yellow in colou r with a small white head. The aroma is wheaty with a fruity citric scent. It’s light bodied, the flavour is yeaste and wheaty. There is a sweetness in the aftertaste.

(Bottled) Very hazy yellow with a small, white head. Sweet lemon-candy aroma with raisins, much like Finnish mead. Lemony-perfumy-soapy, coriander-spicy flavor with a sourish finish. No hops found here. Quite light-bodied, reasonably refreshing palate with lemonadey carbonation. On the borderline of beer, Two Dogs and alcopops, it manages to be a somewhat drinkable summer brew. Still a bit too artificial to be really enjoyable.

Geat sweet smell and fruity taste. I don’t think more than a few pints of this smooth beer could be had due to the actual sweetness. After two pints of this I usually change to a more bitter beer.

bought in switzerland in a 0.33 liter-bottle.by the way,my botttle is made from blue glass,but it is the same beer small,white head nice yellow-hazy color smells spicy,yeasty,the coriander is very distinctible,but orange too,even if a bit hidden behind,smells a bit sweetish,but some citrus is there too,a bit viny,smells a bit like some perfume middle carbonated in taste,the coriander is rather strong,but orange taste is there too,and a bit of citrus(a bit sweet-sourish),some perfume-like flavour aftertaste coriander,orange and even some banana,something bittersweet(a bit of hops),and a bit of perfume-like fruit at the end) not bad,but could have a little bit less coriander-taste,and smell a bit less sweetish,but interesting.remembers me some stronger christmas-beers(in france.and specially in alsace,there is a tradition of brewing christmasbeers with spices and orange added) a beer between witbier and some christmasbeers,more refreshing than a christmasbeer,but altough a little bit unusual for me in summer.

500ml bottle. floral aroma, fruity taste: citrus, orange, hint of strawberry, far far too sweet and leaves a similar aftertaste. almost a pretentious alcopop. Price counts against it aswell.

Bottle. White short head. Unclear yellow/green body. Banana grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit flavor.

(on bottle)Frensh sodapop here. Aroma of Kondivand and elderflowerlemonade. Pale, mily yellow, with a huge white head. Very whiped cream-like in the mouthfeel. Slightly tart, yet cloying sweet finish.
