Kronenbourg 1664: The French can make beer too.

Pour it into a glass. The head is beautiful. 

Kronenbourg 1664 is the highest selling beer in France and the second highest selling lager in the UK. And you can see why. This is a very well-balanced crisp beer. Everything about it was absolutely spot on. The 1664 is the year Kronenbourg brewery started in Strasbourg, France.

Great golden color, the barman kept insisting that I try the Kronenbourg 'Blanc' which is their famed white beer, but I decided to stick to the 1664 lager. At 5.0% ABV, it lacks the spicy bite that is associated with a lot of pale lagers.

The great thing about this beer was its lack of complexity which made it taste like an average mass market beer, but the beer held ground and tasted solid nonetheless. There's a sense of corn and some kind of cereal but those are light and the flavors don't overstay their welcome.

The beer has a beautiful head and one is obliged to say cheers to the french for making not only good wine, but great beer as well. Kronenbourg 1664 is crisp, clean and mildly flavored beer. It's easy to drink and will form a great accompaniment to your cheesy food. Au Revoir and Cheers!
