Feb 14, 2004 I had this on tap at Den Acker's in Capetown Victoria Square. A very smooth and low alcohol content belgium with a rich amber colorful appearance and a fruity drinkable aftertaste.

Oct 28, 2005 Very hoppy for a Belgian ale. Nice copper color, good head retention. Tasty but not spectular.

Apr 12, 2003 Updated: Mar 31, 2005(draught) Totally clear amber-fox. Thick yellowish head, lacey. Nose of ambrée malts, some sugar and hops, CO2 is even obvious in the nose. A bit of burned rubber (sulphur). Aroma as freshly gristed malt. Taste, IMO, the ideal balance between sweet and bitter from noble hops. CO2 gives an ever so slight sourish hint. Biscuit (cookies) flavour. Very fresh De Koninck has a flavour as from freshly mown grass. Light-bodied. Well saturated, not fizzy. Refreshing. In the aftertaste, all tastes struggle and the hopbitterness lasts. NEVER confound a draught ‘bolleke’ with the bottled product. Filtered, but not pasteurised, this is a mega-difference. NEVER visit Antwerpen without drinking one. Not all pubs serve it equally well, though. To an Antwerpener, this is the standard (=/ the best beer!) by which all other beers are measured.

Feb 5, 2004 orange peel, malt and yeast with hints of a flowery bouquet on the nose.
light amber with nice head and carbonation.
not terribly complex while still being flavoursome, spicy with citrus and slightly floral and yeasty.
slightly bitter with light body.
enjoyable and at just 5%abv you can have a few over a meal without getting too intoxicated.

Oct 16, 2005 Reminded me a lot of a clean golden pale ale. I can see why this is an everyday drink in antwerp. Nice and sweep with just enough hop character. Nice.

Sep 18, 2005 well balanced ale. for some reason i always end up buying bigger belgians and ignoring some of the lighter more subtle brews that can often be just as satisfying. this tasted good with a light tartness to it.

Sep 15, 2006 I first tried this beer while visiting my folks in Antwerp and feel in love with it. Outstanding colour, and excellent finish. Been enjoying the beer here in Toronto, but it isn’t quite as good as the beer they pour in Belgium.
I am excited that the lCBO will now be carrying it so I can enjoy it home.
