Commercial Description:
This special ale has been developed in honour of the brewing in the late Middle Ages when the farmers could not work in the fields during the winter months and therefore had time to devote themselves to brewing ale. Winter Koninck is a deep amber-coloured top-fremented ale with 6.5% Alc. vol. and a full-bodied flavour.

Tap at the Fort Worth Gingerman. Fruity, apple, grape aroma. Taste is grape juice, cheap wine, and alcohol. About as winter as the 4th of July.

Pretty reddish orange pour. Fruity smell of sweet red and apple peel. Pretty for sure. Some grainy elements as well. Nice sweet flavor that touches on sweet and sour. A fair amount of grape and gumy lifesavers. Dries out on the finish. Some easier flavors but the finish just is too easy.

Pours a clear amber color with a creamy head. Aroma is of sour fruits, malts and has a sharp edge. Taste is not really outspoken, a bit sweet, a bit bitter and a bit sour. Medium carbonation. Slightly bitter, short finish.

Bottle. BBF April 2006. Hazy amber body with a medium off white head. Fruity and spicy aroma. Flavour is malty, yeasty with lots of ripe fruit and slight cellar notes. Medium bodied.

Dark burnt orange going red in colour with tons of long lasting effervesance, light, fizzy looking cream coloured head and excellent lacing. Aroma is airy (the De Koninck glass may not be the best glass to capture the scent) with weak sweet malt & some un-nameable spice, faint prune and something that smells kinda like a gym shoe. Complex mild tastes of cherries, oranges, clove and other spices and malt. Mouthfeel is borderline thin, but has everything from softness to dryness to sourness and ends on an almost permanent harsh bitterness (not a powerful one though leaving me confused on what has just happened) that encourages massive salivation. A good medium strength sipper.
