I had this beer at The French Market on Gay St. They specialize in crepes, but not just the traditional breakfast or dessert ones. Oh no, they also have savory ones, as well. I got a thin sliced roast beef with red onions and horseradish, plus spinach and Swiss cheese. Really tasty, and just about the right size for a lunch that satisfies but doesn’t weigh you down. Highly recommended! Oh, BTW, the beer is a standard euro lager in a green bottle.

This clear yellow beer poured with a frothy white head of little substance and a skunky aroma. There is a faint caramel malt flavor that is unremarkable.

Bottled. Golden. Plastic aroma and flavour with corn and skunk. Really bad.

I think this must be really really cold, before it’s drinkable. I tried this one more than once (out of a can, from tap, from a bottle) and it wasn’t very good. I think they named this beer 1664, so i could give this beer a 1.664. 1.6 comes close.

A strong refreshing beer when served cold. The more you drink the more the flavour dilutes.

$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.
