A crown cap for applying to a beverage bottle has a circular top member; a skirt depending downwardly from a periphery of the skirt; and a flange extending from a periphery of the skirt. The flange includes plural, substantially radially oriented repeating potions, which include circumferentially spaced apart, upwardly extending flutes and land portions disposed between each flute. Each land portion has a circumferential dimension, which is measured at a perimeter of the flange, that is greater than a distance between the flat portions. The flutes are in the shape of an inverted V. The configuration prevents gearing engagement of oppositely oriented crowns and likely would enhance gripping and comfort by a user.
