For the snobs

Kronenbourg Brewery (Carlsberg International A/S), Alsace, France
5.0% Wheat Beer
Light and foamy ambrosia, 1664 Blanc is sweet, smooth and mellow. The yeasty, malty alchemy produces subtle flavours underneath the citrus, like strawberry and vanilla, balanced with orange peel and spices. Sublime.
Where to drink it: On a deck, in a hot air balloon or on the beach — it’s bottled summer.
Pairing: Light patio lunch, grilled white fish and salad.
