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.

Bottled. Clear deep amber. Sweet. Brown sugar and caramel is dominant. The mouthfeel is clean and rounded, interruptedby a slightly spicy, hoppy finsih with some bitterness. Flawless, quite pleasant but fairly middle-of-the road, as far as Belgian ales are concerned.

Probably well-aged (based on the floaties) - subtle, but certainly not watered-down - subdued berry and cherry flavors, mild sweetness - nothing spectacular, but def. worth drinking.

Good foamy head. Colour is amber. Aroma is malt, leather and old books - stinky despite of best before datum in 10/04. Malt bitter mouthfeel giving nice malty aftertaste. Propably needs to be re-rated from draught sample.

Sampled draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Amber colour, clear, small creamy head. Flowert caramel aroma. Sweet and mild with light fruitiness and yeastiness. There's some toffee and a light hoppiness that leads to an intensely flowery finish with medium bitterness. Uncomplicated, but enjoyable easy drinking Belgian ale.

The aroma is of hops, yeast, straws, and fruit. The color is orange and it has no head. The flavor is of corriander, fruit, and hops; aroma as well as bitter. The bitter hops giving it a slightly bitter finish. A very nice Belgian drinking ale.

Beautiful ruby color. Drinkable ordinary Belgian Strong Ale, but with some pine needles and plastic…
