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.

Draught Yellow head soon reduced to rim; hazy amber beer. Rum very obvious in the nose, sweet, boozy, raisins, hint of young wood. Much less sweet in the mouth, even a certain discreet acidity. Again wood. Raisins, but again with reduced sweetness, dry. Very faint roast. Reduced (I keep repeating) slickness by the alcohol. Not very carbonated. The aftertaste gives a full feel of warmth, complexity and depth. Interesting. Usually, I'm not a big fan of rum for barrel ageing, but this one is a success.

En tulipa, color amarillo claro, brillante, ligeramente velada, espuma blanca de burbuja amplia, sin residuo, de media-baja retención. En nariz aroma a malta, levadura, naranja, vainilla. En boca perfil ligeramente dulce con final moderadamente amargo y levemente seco, sabor acorde a las notas aromáticas. Cerveza que sin ser excepcional posee un cierto toque elegante, mejora bastante cuando adquiere temperatura, sobre todo aromáticamente, tornándose más floral, y acentuando más las notas de naranja, francamente agradable.

Leicht hopfig, nicht zu süss, natürlich kein klassisches Pale, aber trinkt sich gut

Golden, almost clear, small head, some laces remaining. Aroma of orange and spices. Rather sweet taste but well balanced to the bitterness, spices, orange and hints of banana also there.
