Kronenbourg 1664 is made with a unique blend of hops including aromatic hops from Alsace. Its unique recipe is distinguished by the use of the aromatic Strisselspalt hop - the ‘caviar of hops' which sets it apart from other beers. The Strisselspalt hop has been exclusive to Alsace - the home of Kronenbourg 1664 - since 1885 and is a unique variety of French aromatic hops, giving the beer an unrivaled aroma and superior taste. It is a 5% ABV continental premium lager, more bitter than sweet, with a distinctive citrus flavor delicately reminiscent of grapefruit; above all this lager possesses wonderful balance and a real drinkability that many of today's excessively hopped beers lack.
