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.

Light brown colour. Slightly malty aroma. Very thin, watery texture. An unusual triple as it is very similar in flavour to a regular De Koninck, except for the extra kick of the alcohol.

(33cl bottle) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Slightly dusty, sweet and slightly toasted malty aroma with caramel, subtle berry-fruity notes and a good dash of herbal hops. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a crispy mouthfeel. Slightly toasty and fruity malty base with notes of caramel and rising licorice spice towards the slightly sugary sweet and subtle fruity finish with a moderate hops and alcohol presence. Decent brew, could also be a kind of Altbier-Bock (22.06.09).

Pours clear deep gold with off white head. The aroma is grains, malts and mild vague fruitiness, sort of estery. The taste is smooth with a thin mouth feel. I get graininess, malts, some mild yeast, a touch of apple and other vague fruity notes.

Bottle (bb 10/24/10) thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a large, foamy white head and a hazed golden body. Aroma is grassy and dry with candi sugar, bread and CO2. Taste is sweet up front with orange peel but finishes very dry (low final gravity). Very lively carbonation with a dry mouthfeel.
