Kronenbourg 1664

A review of alcohol free lager Kronenbourg 1664 - a light and refreshing drink but not a stand out.
Score:
3/5
As the name suggests, Kronenbourg 1664 was first brewed in Strasbourg way back in the seventeen century, although the modern brewery is a little newer and opened in 1952. It’s one of the most popular beers in France and the brewers boast that it is “la première bière Française”.
This alcohol-free version was launched in the UK in 2025, and its creators says it will “elevate any occasion without compromise…making it a perfect partner with food”. So, what’s it like?
It’s certainly a very lively beer, with plenty of head on it. Once it settles, it has a clear golden colour. As for flavour, it’s got more hoppy bitterness than your average lager, although it’s not quite as sharp as a pale ale.
The alcohol-free larger market is pretty crowded, and there’s not much in this beer that stands out from that crowd, but it is light and refreshing, especially when well chilled.
