Beer: Kronenbourg 1664
Type: Pale ale
Region: France
Rating: Novice
Another premium bestseller, this one in France and owned by the Carlsberg Group, The original brewery, Brasseries Kronenbourg, was founded by Geronimus Hatt in 1664, hence the clever name.
The colour is quite yellow and bright, the head is frothy but doesn't last too long. I've got myself the accompanying glass that goes with it, which for most beers, the glass plays an integral part in the enjoyment. There is some mild hop and flower/citrus scents, and slight effervescence.
I'm a bit surprised when reading the ingredients that the third one is a glucose syrup, adding to the touch of sweetness to the malt finish. In any case, this is another easy drinking, enjoyable by the dozen beer. And because it's from France, you can be snobbish and people will understand.
Viva la biere froid!
