What to drink instead of Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc is sold as French and brewed in Britain, at Wolverhampton, West Midlands, at 5.0%. If you were buying it for a French wheat beer, these are the beers on the same shelves that are brewed in the country on their label, or are British and say so, within a point of its strength.

How this list is made. Nobody here has tasted these side by side, and no beer pays to appear. A beer is listed when the record says it is the same kind of beer, is either imported from the country on its label or British and sold as British, is not itself brewed under licence in Britain, has at least one source we trust, and sits within a point of the strength of Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc. Beers from the country on the label come first, then the same style from elsewhere, then British beers. Where an import is weaker in Britain than at home, the card says so.
