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.

From the tap this is certainly a starter and a closer on a great beer night! Because it's not as heavy as trappistes and special brews, this beer is easy to drink and cheap in Holland, which makes it a number one on my buying list!

Very weak version of de koninck, despite being an ale. The normal version de Koninck tastes more like an ale, than this Antoon, which tastes like a pisener.

Pale amber. Very sweet, vrey malty. Smooth with honey flavour, but not overly much character.

Nice amber coloured beer. Good Koninck taste, though i like the original De Koninck more. But maybe it was the mood i was in, which made the Cuvee less good than the original. I might rerate it sometimes.

Rich malty brew with typical Belgian ale estery notes. Slight cidery flavors mixed with hints of licorice and spice. Very smooth, with an alcohol warming in the finish.

By Belgian standards, this is a bit of a snoozefest.........................
