100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #26
Hey look, a continental European light lager! As you might have guessed, it’s transparent, straw colored, highly carbonated, moderately hopped, and just a little bit sweet. It’s also fairly crisp and refreshing. How surprising. Unlike other light lagers I’ve had, this one comes from France. I have little to say about it, though. It’s good but it’s not really a standout. If you’re ever in France and need a decent standby beer because you’re sick of wine, this would be a good one to get. But, I wouldn’t really have a reason to pick it out over another import in your local beer store.
That sounds meaner than I meant it to. It’s just that I had a lot of this style when I was in the Czech Republic and it got to me after a while. Kronenbourg is probably a little more interesting to me than Pilsner Urquell or Stella Artois because there’s a touch of lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. It’s definitely not a bad beer. This brewery also has a few more beers I’d like to try, like a Grand Cru and a white beer. If I can ever find a Tesco again, I might get to try them.
