Kronenbourg 1664

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

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

Frothy head - piss coloured. No aroma, hoppy, skunky grainy and watery above all. Crap.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow with a thick foamy white head. Strong maizey, sheepy, lagery aroma, then a huge waft of skunk. Weak watery flavour, very little body, very little flavour. Metallic finish. Maybe, if they used whole hops instead of extract, and left out the maze, they’d have a halfway decent lager

Tasting at Three CEllars. FRance and Beer just do not go togther. Watery and laking in flavor

$1.79 for a 12 oz. single at Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clear, goldish body with a small, white head. Splotchy lacing. Smell: Light pale maltiness with a bit of doughiness to it. Mild, musty skunk notes. Taste: Light pale malts with a mild, restrained sweetness and a hint of dough and grits. Faint, brief traces of lemon and apple fruitiness. Floral hops with a light bitterness. Dry finish with a hint of the alcohol within. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: While 1664 isn’t quite 1337, it’s better than a sizable portion of the endless parade of Euro lagers available.

Had a few bottles in France. Liked it better than the imported bottles of Stella. Had no metallic taste or other flaws so it received an "OK" mark by me.

Coloração dopurada transparente, creme pouco denso e consistente. Suave, apenas com uma leve de malte e lúpulo. Final metalizado.

Bottle, from our hotel in Paris. Nothing special, slighly sweet and light. Refreshing but lacking the flavor of beer.

Draft. This had a distinct metallic flavor but different than say Heiniken. I thought this was good but would not pay a premium price for it.
