De Koninck

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

On draft at Beer Bistro. Pours a bright red. Not much of an aroma, a bit hoppy. Flavour was nice and full, with a hint of sweetness, perhaps cherry? Finish is subdued but lengthy, with a bit of a more bitter taste. A really impressive refreshing beer.

Nice amber color pour, smells of sweet grains, not much head. Very smooth on the palate, sweet malts, nice sweet aftertaste, but not too strong. Very good beer, will buy again.

Pours a brownish amber with a small head. Nose like toasting bread with slight notes of fruit and mild spice. Taste of malts with hints of apple and pear, and perhaps, banana. Tangy finish.

Some beerish aromas similar to lambics and some malt in the background. Has a real light amber color with a copper hue. Off white head dissipated with some sign of action and a little sediment. Has a broth taste with some eyewater tea sweetness inthe background. Light to medium bodied and a watery blended resin feel. Definite session beer kind of a mild chewy amber.

from tap. I love a ’bolleke’ every day! A lovely color with a super slightly caramel taste.

Nice clear golden color. Medium body. Some hints of banana and citrus. A touch of bitterness.

On tap in koads of venues in Antwerp and most recently in Jurriaans, Amsterdam. A really good standard beer. Creamy, pretty light, with a nutty and slightly orangey flavour. Nice fizziness, nice colour, and creamy topping.

Bottle: Poured a hazy deep yellow color ale with a huge foamy dirty white head wit pretty good retention. Aroma of Belgian yeast with sweet malt. Taste is quite refreshing with some mild sweet malt and nice dose of Belgian yeast. Medium dry finish with a nice above average body. Very good take on the style.
