The recently retired Kroon pilsener from my hometown brings some nice memories to my mind. Obviously it’s just a standard pilsener, but for once I’m being sentimental and therefore rating taste at an 8.

Kroon used to be made in my hometown (Oirschot, Netherlands). Bavaria bought it and are now slowly pushing this off the market. Kroon is a decent pilsener and scores accordingly.

For some reason Kroon pils has been the long time local festival draught in the region where I grew up. Bit sweet, some light hops, not very special but very drinkable.
