How to describe the taste of Kronenbourg? Well the taste is somewhat heavy and bitter which is unusual for many lagers. But the unpleasant flavours come on more and more after a few sips. It tastes like sour rotten lager with a dirty aftertaste and the bubbles do it no flavours. Unpleasant and vile in the extreme this is one to avoid.

Interesting bottle. Pours clear pale yellow. Head quickly goes. Smells citrus, sweet. Taste is crisp, bitter. Ends off pleasant, leaves a hop taste. I enjoyed this beer. Wouldn’t turn one down but probably will never buy it again.

Beer is a subjective experience. As such, I don’t know why Kronenbourg 1664 is my favorite lager -- but it is. It’s not fancy, it’s not an ale or anything, it’s not complex -- but by Bes, it’s refreshing, it’s tasty, and it’s easy to drink. When I don’t want a challenge, but I want a decently quenching and unchallenging beer, I drink Kronenbourg.

Pours a very clear macro yellow with a white head. The aroma is basic macro with some hops in it. The flavor is more basic macro with some grassy hops in the finish. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

this one deserves a negative rating. aroma of a type of perfume....always has had it. light with nothing to report in a positive manner.

This is lousy french lager which makes me doubt the so called sofistication of Europeans. Light in every sense, could barely get any taste or aroma. The only interesting thing about this beer is the funky bottle.

A pretty bad beer. The French are not known for brewery skills...and this may be why. Pour is boring gold with a white head. Moderate lacing with high carbonation and oily mouthfeel. Aroma is skunky lager with hops, grass and malts. Taste is skunkiness with fruity grass. Overall, not the best.

Thoroughly uninteresting basic lager from France. Consumed out of the very typically French 250ml bottles which left something to be desired but this way the beer always tasted fresh. Well-carbonated but missing the Euro "funk" that Becks and similar beers have.
