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.

330 ml bottle. Dark red/brown body with a beige head. Aroma is sweet malty, spicy and fruity. Flavor is caramel malt, dry fruit, spicy yeast and some bitterness. This is much like a maltier, sweetier and bitter version of the regular De Konick. Flavorful and easy drinkable.

330 ml bottle. Hazy amber body with rather small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, fruity and a hint of this typical De Konic spiciness. Flavor is malty, a bit sweet, fruity and surprisingly light, almost no alcohol.
