Obernai, France

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

Dark gold color, fair malt nose and a bit of hops. White head and decent lace, adequate, but not great. Once again it’s hard to overcome my bias against ’Blond’ beers. While its drinkable, will be lucky to make my top 250. Still for the ’Lite’ beer crowd, you will like it, clean, refreshing, just not a hit with this grissled olde dark beer lover.

Nothing special here, move along. Had it when the other choices were Miller and Bud.

A very light bodied beer with strong hints of fruit. Nothing spectacular.

I cannot believe that 1664 comes from the same brewery as Kronenbourg-Elk-Piss. They should only brew this one. It’s not good, but it’s a good Helles for France. -- Try without chemics and with more belgian or german knowhow -- By the way: Beer in France (Paris) is far too expensive ! Price/Quality rating = - 20

a pale beer that doesn’t taste too pale. whatever that means... however, tastes a bit rusty. best to drink from the bottle, as it is pretty dull when poured in to a glass.

Straight forward lager, golden colour with small head, malt aroma, oily texture and slight bitterness.

Decent aroma. Malt a fair bit of hop. Pours coopery golden with a bit of foamy head, not too big. A bit different from your average lager. Kind of a doughy maltyness to the flavour. Bit on the watery side. Slight bitter hop punch at the end. Not too bad for your average European lager.

This is not the filth. It is a beer to drink and it does the job quite well thank you very much. It will not be making acceptance speeches at the Oscars, but it will be washing down the lobster at the meal afterwoods.
