De Koninck

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

Bottle: Poured and amber color with a creamy off white cream head. The aroma is malty and somewhat spicy. The taste is a rich malt flavor with suttle tingle of carbonation and metallic.

Pours clear dark amber with small off-white head. Good lacing though. Slightly sweet spicy hop aroma with a hint of dark fruits there. Lovely smooth medium mouthfeel. Initial sweet malt taste with a mild bitter middle and dry bitter finish. Aftertaste is bitter yet sweet, almost slightly tangy, with a hint of spice too. Quite tasty. Not as complex as other belgians but very quaffable! Rerate: More plum and rasins in aroma this time. Palate wasnt as full this time either. Finish quite thin. Lost a point on palate, gained one on aroma.

I have this one when I am feeling cheap and want a Belgian. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a neutral brown color with a medium sized creamy tan head. The aroma is a mix of sweet and fruity and yeasty. The flavor is mild, with a dry sourness, a hint of nut and a yeasty almost bready taste. Hard to really get a handle on just what the flavor is. Pretty mild for a Belgian. The draft is about the same - maybe a bit smoother.

Bottle from Gravity in Olympia, WA--Poured a hazy gnarley red, thin body. Mild fluffy biege head. Sticky, malty, cardboardy. Nothing special, but ok. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find this beer again.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Crafton. A little more orange than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager but it’s just as clear. Creamy thin head. Barely any arom but the slight aroma it does have is a clean sweet candy. Rather nice taste impact, friendly and well mannered. Easy to like and no sweat to enjoy. Barely any carbonation. Has some earthy character and feel on the palate and taste buds. Beautiful lacing. Finish is just simply well behaved and amicable. Very good session brew, if I could afford it.

Amber in colour with a very small head. Aroma was quite light small, amounts of flowers, some malt and caramel. Light bodied, with some caramel, mild hops and some sourness. Finish is light and watery. Pretty weak.

The pride of Antwerp,at it’s best on tap in the city where it makes it’s home.Fruity,malty, nice amber color and a great session beer.

COmpletely devistatingly ugly with absolutely no head and a clear ugly dark amber color..brown sugar and yeast make up all attributes of aroma or flavor..malty nonsense with a real watery mouthfeel.
