Bottled (Blue), 500ml. Brown to gold with short white head. Stronger flavours than usually found in French lagers, caramel malts, reasonably biscuity with som e lemony hop, its ok. Sweetish in the finish. Certainly had worse than this.

Jul 26, 2008 Not as shit as you’d think considering its from kronenbourg . i thought this was gonna be listed as a "Bock" on the style guide here but its actually cooler that this is listed as "European Strong Lager". its like European Malt Liquor equivalent. Ghetto fuel .Smells like garbage ,malt chocolate AND dust. Quite a malty drink but that is subtle. grainy rusty with some mettalic caramell in there.

Bottle blue, 330 ml
Appearance: Looks very clear, amber, very well filtered, in body carbonation is medium but bubbles are moveing through the body quite lively, head is quite thick - frothy and in a bit off - white colour nicely matching to the deep, dark golden body, leaves some hints of lacing.
Aroma: Aromatic hops hidden under yeasts and malty sweetness with some mild alcoholic aroma.
Flavour: Yeasts, frony is sweet, inviting, than a nice, positive surprise of some bitterness on your palate, some notes of vegetables and after the alcohol warms your palate you can feel yeast, malty sweetness, a bit syroupy, but still dry. Very interesting, well balanced French Strong Lager reminding of a English Premium Bitter, very drinkable as for 6% vol it is well hidden.
Palate: Texture is smooth with some bitterness, yeasts giving smoothness and hops giving bitterness. Finish is bitter and a bit creamy, smooth and short to medium.

Jun 14, 2008 Pours a tan brown colour looking very much like a bitter. Aroma is sweet and a little malty. Flavour is also sweet, even a little shandyesque.
