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.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Crafton. A little more orange than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager but it’s just as clear. Creamy thin head. Barely any arom but the slight aroma it does have is a clean sweet candy. Rather nice taste impact, friendly and well mannered. Easy to like and no sweat to enjoy. Barely any carbonation. Has some earthy character and feel on the palate and taste buds. Beautiful lacing. Finish is just simply well behaved and amicable. Very good session brew, if I could afford it.

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a ruby-chestnut color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was yeasty, bready and lightly fruity. The flavor was yeasty, bready and had hints of caramel and ripe fruits. Really not all that different from their regular beer.
