De Koninck

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

Small white head; red-brown body. Faint acidic fruity aroma. Lightly acidic fruity taste with light licorice notes. Dryish watery fruit aftertaste. Decent, but no more, for a supposed Belgian. (0.33l bottle.)

Color is dark orange. Thick cream colored head. Scent of oak. Taste is slightly sweet with lots of malt.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear amber colour low disappearing white foam. Yeast, dust, red berries, mild cheese and hay in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of caramel, yeast, red berries and oranges. Mild finish of yeast, red plums and grass.

Gold pour. Nice malty aroma, caramel, bread, yeast, light honey and some fruit. Flavor is a maltorama! Honey and caramel with some honey wheat bread. Good and refreshing.

Bottle. Dark amber beer with a white head that disapears quickly. Somewhat yeasty aroma with a little spice. Thin body that quenches your thirst easily. There’s a spiciness to it and a mildly sweet backing. Nothing special, but it’s enjoyable in it’s well-done simplicity.

Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. Aroma of honey and fruits. The flavor is boring, there’s a mix of fruits and sweetness but it feels bland. The body is light with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Boring and ordinary.

Nice amber beer, however not impressive, just an upgraded pilsener.

Tap. Apple vinegar aroma - light yeast and must tones. Cloudy light brown with small head. Very ciderlike inititally with a sweet and sour light malt and bitter finish. Body was a bit weak. Interesting - a bit like a weak Gueuze. Bottle version was much less acidic and lighter as well as being a darker brown.
