Kronenbourg 1664
Brasseries Kronenbourg, Strasbourg, France - Pale Lager
Sunday 11 March 2012 – 5%Alc./Vol. 74 / 100
Initial Thoughts
Oh yes! The French heavyweight! I think this is one of the handsomest package designs in the beer section. A medium to light amber colour, with an enthusiastically swelling head. Did I mention it’s French?
First Sip
Nice friendly Gallic lager. Ironically inoffensive. A light palette for your palate...
Halfway Through
The effervescence of Kronenbourg 1664 is just about right, but upon consumption I'm finding it a tad gaseous. The malt and hops are about as well balanced as a three legged stool; which is to say, very.
Bottoms Up
Everything about this lager is, well... appropriate. The package does the job, easily located among the other brewed offerings in the cooler. Pleasantly bubbly, if a tad gassy in the belly. With the right parts hop and malt to make for a great global player in lager. Known for their fermented grapes, Kronenbourg makes a fair case for the French brewing heritage.
