2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml can from the LCBO. Pours golden with a thick white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is malt but subdude. Flavour and mouthfeel is better than I expceted. Not a bad session lager.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
A golden-brown beer with a decent white head. The first thing I smelled when I opened the bottle was a rush of skunk-that’s it. The taste is not nearly as skunky
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours golden with white head, a bit of grassy aroma with some bread notes. Taste up front is grassy and a bit of floral hops, leading into bready and lager type malt taste with a bit of a dry finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On-tap.
A - Pale, clear golden color. Decent sized fluffy white head.
S - Grainy sweetness, along with a little bit of grassy hops. Nothing exceptional, what really what is to be expected from the style.
T - Similar to the smell. Mostly grainy and sweet malt flavors with maybe a touch of honey. Some grassy malts. Pretty mild taste.
M - Light to medium body. Decent carbonation. Crisp and slightly smooth for the style.
D - Really quite drinkable. Refreshing and a good beer to get at a bar with limited selection.
Notes: Easy to drink and inoffensive beer, but nothing special about it. If you want something light and easy to drink at a bar, this isn’t a bad choice.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Golden pour, small head.
Aroma of malt, syrup and faint hops.
Flavour is very light bitterness followed by sweetness of malt.
Just another boring lager.
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Kronenbourg is one of those beers that I could’ve lived my whole life and been OK with not trying. It was quite simply nothing special. If I want a brand tasteless pale lager, I can go to my local cheap beer. Absolutely nothing special beer.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Golden pour from bottle in Nantes, France. Maybe it’s just me, but some beers seem to taste better when you are traveling overseas in the country they are produced. Typical lager, but well balanced taste. I’d drink this one again. Salute!!

Notes for me: Refreshing West European Lager. Decent hop bitterness, but little aroma or finish. Thiner feel like the popular (yuk) American lagers but with more malt and overall more refined......less maize I suppose.
