De Koninck

Brewed by Brouwerij De Koninck
Style: Belgian Ale
Antwerpen, Belgium

Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière est de couleur cuivrée avec une mousse fauve modeste. Au nez on découvre des arômes de banane brûlé, de gingembre, de coriandre et de levure. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de gingembre, d’abricot, de pêche avec des notes de grain caramélisé. La finale est légèrement houblonnée. Merci Rémy

On tap at the White Horse, 25th August 2008. One of the first Belgian beers I ever tried, back at Lowlander three or more years ago. I only just realised I never rated it. Rich amber with a firm cream coloured head. Smooth and well balanced for a 5% beer. It’s simple but well executed. Sorts you out nicely.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, not complex, yet balanced, clear, small head, nice brew, refreshing

Bottled(300ml). -Clear amber coloured, medium sized white head, dusty malty nose. Malty, weak hoppy, spicy and mild fruity taste with notes of yeast and caramel, but overal quite thin beer. The worst of 5 beers I’ve tried in Zotte, Amsterdam.

Sampled on draught: Pours a slightly cloudy orange colour with a full white head. Aroma is wheaty, yeast and grass. Mildly grass on the palate, little bit of berry flavor. Pretty average brew overall.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a copper with orange hue, beige head, sediment floating around. Aroma of apple notes and malt. Taste is good, nice malty back bone, semi sweet, slight fruity tang, yeasty, slight bitter. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high carbonation.....not bad.

On tap @ De Geuzen. Copper/amber colour, white head. Aroma of malts, yeast and caramel. Flavour is malty sweet, with a yeasty bitter finish. Some metallic notes. Dry mouthfeel. OK amber.

Alla spina al bar di fronte al Moulin de la Galette, in rue Lepic; non spiacevole birra di poche pretese, con un sentore alcolico spropositato per la sua gradazione ma tuttavia abbastanza beverina. Mielosa e caramellosa quanto le si addice ma con meno sentore cerealicolo che la Palm.
