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.

Cloudy golden blonde. Dusty, perfumey yeast aroma. Dry, herbal taste. A bit fizzy. For me, it finishes a bit sweet, perfumey. Not bad, but the balance and fizziness aren’t really there.

Pours an amber colour with a tiny head. Malty aroma, with a subtly yeasty taste. Nothing special here.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry woody finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear amber with a smallish off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and overripe fruits. Solid body, roasted malts, fruit and brown sugar - again some rustic notes of overripe fruit. Hardly any bitterness. 161209

bottle (Bochum!). Clear red-brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, berries and red wine. Full-bodied, yeasty with a fruity touch, mainly of redcurrant, blackcurrant and raspberries, also some vinous hints. Good!

Bottle. Poured an amber color with almost no head. The aroma is fruity with hints of yeast and sour tones. A hint of a slight acidity, a little yeast, sugar and fruits. Unfortunately, the beer feels pretty thin and watery.

Draught Red to deep pink beer under very fine, rosy-tinted white head, fast gone. Horrible fruitaromas, terribly artificial nose, like red cherry-sweets for kids. Watery, fruity-sweet taste with a sourish flavour reminiscent of citric acid - which shouldn’t be in beer... Fizzy MF, served over-cold. Artificial, us-too fruitdrink. Messrs. Van den Bogaert, shame on you!
