Kronenbourg 1664

◎ Aussehen

Kronenbourg 1664 presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, crystalline transparency. A white, dense head forms on the pour and maintains good retention and lacing throughout the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, with consistent bead formation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and inviting, led by soft, slightly herbal noble hop character with gentle citrus undertones from the Strisselspalt variety. Supporting the hops is a delicate, refined malt base that contributes subtle sweetness without heaviness. The overall impression is fresh and straightforward, with no yeast-driven or adjunct character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a crisp, clean malt sweetness that evolves into a balanced hop bitterness characteristic of the Pilsner style. The mid-palate maintains smoothness with a light body and fine carbonation that enhances refreshment. Bitterness is gentle at 38 IBU, never harsh, and fades into a dry conclusion without lingering astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and quick, with the gentle hop bitterness tapering to a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No residual sweetness or off-flavors persist.

Gut gekühlt bei 4–6°C für maximale Frische servieren. Ein zu warm serviertes Pilsner verliert seinen charakteristischen Biss.

Das hohe, schmale Pilsnerglas erhält die Kohlensäure und zeigt die goldene Klarheit, die den Stil ausmacht.
