De Koninck

Deep amber colour, minuscule head and some unexpected sediment. The nose is quite enticing with its full-on jammy raspberry profile. Curiously, very little of this raspberry expresses itself in the flavour. Rather than fruity, the flavour is bitter and woody; if anything it’s raspberry seeds, not raspberry fruit. Regardless, the flavour is still quite pleasing and the juxtaposition between aroma and flavour makes for an interesting experience.

Bottle, Dodgy Deli, Oxford. Bronze red pour with a small layer of dirty beige head. Cinnamon and overripe strawberry aroma. Bright carbonation, lots of berry fruit esters, clean malt. A tiny hint of bitterness, and bit of lingering sticky.

1 May 2006 (Rerated 30 May 2006) - Light fruit malt hop aroma. Close to clear amber-red -brown colour, reasonable head and OK lacing. Sweet but big hop flavour. Metallic, bitter full hop and wheat aftertaste.

Pours with a beautiful white head, and has a non distinct bitter hops taste. Warms up nicely, but no world beater
