Description
Looking for the real taste of Antwerp? Since 1833, there has been just one address: our Antwerp City Brewery. Because when people get together in Antwerp, they do so more often than not with a Bolleke Koninck in their hand. And that’s how De Koninck has become synonymous with Antwerp –and vice-versa. Every day, we work hard to uphold this proud tradition while also experimenting on ways to perfect and reinvent the taste of Antwerp.

Draft @ Trix.
Ambre léger, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé.
Bière surfant sur un rappel de la Palm avec un caractère plus houblonné - belle note de malt toasté.
Reste assez basique mais je trouve le tout encore assez plaisant à boire surtout avec le caractère malté - caramel, toasté qui domine tout en ayant assez de traits d'une ambre belge. Petite note de sucre cara et une finalité houblonné sur le fruité/floral et léger terreux.

Draught Very good, dense, yellow head, slowly descending over jet-black beer. Rum, sweet, booze, raisins, some wood, perfumey. Sweet taste with raisins, rum, some dry wood backthroat. Very fruity estery, perfumey. Some higher alcohols, fusels and faint liquorice. Chewy, oily, alcoholheat. But the alcohol (13%!) remains dangerously hidden, this is treacherously drinkable! Another very good one from Sven's Barry White incubator.

0.33l bottle. Slightly opaque golden body with a thin white head. Aroma and taste of orange peel, coriander, sugar syrup, apples and a bit of floral hops. It has strong witbier vibes eventhough it's labelled as a tripel. Not bad though.

Draught Small, slowly retreating yellow head over hazy amber beer. Fresh yeast, intense, stonefruit & orangepeel. Again yeast in front, toasted malts and coloured fresh grains; quite a bit of mildly sweet caramel. Hazelnuts, hardboard, rosemary. Alcohol remains seriously hidden, the cinnamon in a lesser way. Not very carbonated; at least medium bodied, faintly sticky. Nice, interesting, bit dangerous. In case Alengrin doesn't get to taste this; "Verloren Maandag" (Lost Monday) hails from 16-17th century Antwerpen where, on the first monday after Epiphany the city employees were payed out, and this in the pub. As a reward, they were treated there with beer and sausage rolls. Seen that afterwards, no work could be done anymore, it was a 'lost' monday. If Alengrin gets to taste this, he'll write you a couple of pages about this.

Tap @ the brewery. Pale golden body under a big white head. Refreshing and not too sweet triple with some notable bitterness as well. Enjoyable.

Draft @ Fish a Gogo, Antwerpen. Clear gold with a good white head. Aroma of yeast, apples, pear and alcohol. Taste of grains, pear, apples, coriander, yeast and zest. Sweet and sourish. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. It’s an average Tripel but works very well with kibbeling, mussels and fries.

Просто хороший трипель в стиль. Только слишком сильная горчинка на финише. А так нормально.

Draught Huge, dense & fine cream-tan head over red-shot black beer. Intense alcoholic/fusely nose, with wood, toffee, caramel, dried red fruit, and very faint ureum. Dry wood, black chocolate, fortified wine, alcohol & fusels. Again dried fruit, old barrels. Even a slight tongueside acidity. Sticky, viscous, full bodied. Alcoholheat, almost creamy feel. Quite well-carbonated. Excellent Pearl!
