Kronenbourg 1664

Brewed by Kronenbourg (Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Obernai, France

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

A decent enough lager. Not my go-to beer on a night out, but if there’s not much choice on tap i don’t really mind drinking this. The French have been much more successful with other alcoholic drinks.

Grassy nose with noticeable skunk and spicy hops. Light orangey-gold, small head. Huge carbonation, light body, slightly skunky finish that is not necessarily bad. Easy drinking fizzy beer, not special, but not offensive.

Poured from tap a clear yellow color, small white head which left a decent lacing and a medium carbonation. Aroma has a very light sweet malt hint and some grassy hops. Beer has an okay flavor from the pale malt, not strong but not weak either and hops add a somewhat spicy and grassy flavor to it. Overall the beer was ok but not worth the full import prices normally charged.

500ml can from the LCBO The french should stick to wine Not good A more detailed description will follow on a second tasting I have misplaced my comments for this beer

Bottle. Pours a pale straw color with a huge quick rising head that dissolves quickly. Nose ia musty skunky basement smell with grassy notes. Mouthfeel is light and kinda tastes like a heineken without that bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a decent looking white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a little lace. Aroma is faint, but there are signs of hops and a sweet malt. Grassy and spicy. Taste is similar. More spicy hops than most lagers. Very refreshing despite its simplicity. Overall, a beer that brings back a lot of memories and tastes better than most shitty lagers here in America.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2008 From a tall boy can. Terrible. The only thing that stood out to me was the overpowering taste of alcohol. Never again....
