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.

Obviously very very well known, at least in Belgium and The Netherlands. It’s not so special though, at least not to me. Color is nice, deep dark reddish. But the smell and taste are flat and a bit boring.

Not a bad ABT beer of the month (don’t remember which), but not very special either. Nice color, nice taste but low body.

bottle@outside/friend’s forest - shared: poured medium chestnut brown with a light brown head, plenty of sweet malts, medium caramel, fruits upfront (lots of plums) & nuts, slightly roasted & bit off-tasting spices in the finish which don’t really seem to belong there, ok beer but could have been a lot better

Clear orange light amber color, little too light for an amber beer, creamy head. Not much smell. Overall pretty standard.

Nice bottle for a koninck beer. The beer however is not that special. It’s pretty much a drink and forget beer.

Not really a fan of this one. The colour is pretty nice. All the other things score below par. But too much bubbles for me.
