Brasserie Kronenbourg

Kronenbourg 1664 presents as a refined take on the American Lager style, elevated by the inclusion of the Strisselspalt hop, often referred to as the caviar of hops. This signature ingredient from the Alsace region imparts a delicate, elegant floral and spicy aromatic profile that distinguishes it from more neutral macro lagers. The beer pours a brilliant pale gold with a crisp, clean fermentation character. A subtle, grainy malt sweetness is perfectly balanced by a low, sophisticated bitterness, leading to a highly carbonated and refreshing finish. It is a harmonious display of French brewing heritage designed for ultimate drinkability.

Appearance. Pale gold (3 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a white, frothy head that demonstrates moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Low intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Features very light grainy-sweet malt notes. The hop character is subtle but distinct, showcasing the floral and herbal perfume of Strisselspalt hops. No esters or diacetyl are present.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and neutral. A moderately-low grainy malt flavor provides a foundation with a faint hint of sweetness. The hop flavor is light, expressing herbal and floral qualities. Bitterness is low but sufficient to balance the malt. The finish is short, clean, and dry with a neutral aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that produces a lively, refreshing carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth texture with no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
