De Koninck

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

on tap at the beer bistro. pours a dark orange color, small head that doenst last very long. Big yeast notes in the nose, along with some slight citrus. flavour i find is unbalanced between the yeastiness, and a spicy notes that is comming through, hmmm, i’m not liking this that much, Its decent and well made, but doesnt suit me.

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.

[bottle--says "amber" on it] Flowers and greenhouse aroma, though weak. Clear, ruddy-gold with a thick, white ring. Very clean flavour, but weak: grainy and floral with a low bitterness. Good, even though it is a bit thin on the palate. Light body, moderate carbonation, clean finish.

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

330 ml bottle. Crystal clear reddish copper colour. Small fine-laced head. Woody and slightly grassy aroma. Northern Brewer hops maybe? High carbonation level leaves a prickly sensation. Slightly nutty flavours, but the lack of sweetness and a drying hop flavours makes the beer feel light. High clean hop bitterness. Refreshing, but with quite a bit of Belgian character. I believe I have tried this beer unfiltered before and remember it as having much more character and also a little cloudy. This version feels just too clean and very industrial.

amber colour, small white head. perfumy aroma with carmael, toasted bread and mild yeast. mixed fruity flavous with refreshing flowery hops and yeast. very nice quaffer.

(On tap at [Brothers Hood] in Lundeborg). Drank several glasses caused by the human percentage. Yeasty and fresh fruity taste and a final with a wish for more samples.

Orange colour, small white head. Aroma: fresh, citrus. Fruity flavours; citrus. Nice balanced beer, but not special.
