1664 Bière 0.0% Review

Kronenbourg 1664 0.0 is the alcohol-free version of one of France’s most recognisable lager brands. The original MyDryBar review scored it 79/100, and that verdict still stands: this is one of the better mainstream alcohol-free lagers, with enough flavour and balance to make it worth recommending.

In the glass, it pours a clear golden colour with lively carbonation and a light frothy head. It looks like a proper lager rather than a thin alcohol-free imitation, which immediately gives it a more convincing feel.

The aroma brings light cereal malt, gentle herbal notes and a subtle floral hop character. Kronenbourg 1664 is known for using Strisselspalt hops from Alsace, and while the 0.0% version is not hugely aromatic, it does carry more personality than many supermarket alcohol-free lagers.

On the palate, Kronenbourg 1664 0.0 is crisp, refreshing and nicely balanced. There is a touch of malt sweetness, some light bitterness and a clean finish that makes it very easy to drink. It does not have the depth of the very best independent alcohol-free beers, but for a widely available lager it performs well.

Overall, this remains a recommended alcohol-free lager on MyDryBar. If you want something familiar, refreshing and easy to find in the UK, Kronenbourg 1664 0.0 is a strong mainstream option.
