 scrapes in  decent  good  excellent  sublime
Kronebourg, Premier Cru 
This is a special beer from Kronenbourg (brewed in France) that is a big step up in class from the standard 1664, coming in a dramatic opaque blue bottle and weighing in at 6.0% ABV. It pours quite dark and golden, with an off-white head. The nose
is aromatic, with hoppy, quite estery scents of herbs and spices over rich malty, toasty notes. On the palate a clove-like edge adds bite to fine crystal malt flavours that have lots of bittersweetness about them,
with a good oily hop bite. To me it is a style half-way between a strong lager and a lighter bitter. 50cl. 6.0%ABV. �2.19 Safeway, Sainsbury's.
