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.

Bottle: Poured a rusty golden color with a thing slightly off white head. From the distance I could already smell a sweet candy aroma of some kind. When I took a deep uninterupted breathe I could pick up more sweet tones along with fruit and yeast. The taste is very sweet spicy malt with a jumping hoppy finish that left my tongue not only tingly like I had just licked a battery, but wanting to drink more.

Bottle. Clear medium yellow / golden color with a average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, spices, fruity, light malty, toasted. Flavor is moderate sweet, light acidic and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Refreshing and has a good balance.

Draught Pours overwhelming head, pink & dense, pretty resistant; fruit-red/orange beer. Artificial raspberry nose, vanilla, ice cream, Delphi wild strawberry liqueur. Bitter, even hoppiness fighting & clashing with the strawberry/raspberry flavouring, even when served ice-cold. It’s like trying to bite (drink) a piece of flavoured soap. Finish is very empty, just a return of the hops, metallic in their context. Watery despite the 6%. Refreshing, maybe - unless you would let it warm up, I suppose - but it does not urge to continue. Whatever brings the perpetrators of the immortal bolleke to brew this kind of rubbish? Utter despair?

330ml bottle. Deep, clear brown body under a noisy, off-white foam. Pity that all the foam fades away very quickly. For a short while it had a very nice and inviting appearance. Moderate sweet, malty aroma. Grainy taste added some tart fruits and notes of yeast coming through towards the ending. Alright spelt beer (12.07.2007).

Draught at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Hazy golden, small head. Dry yet fruity. Light bodied with notes of mango and marzipan. Feels refreshingly light and without edges. Well made.

Bottle, 8%. Clear copper colour, small head. Weak fruity and yeasty aroma. The flavour is a little sweet and quite peppery in good balance. Also fruity with a slightly yeasty aftertaste. Quite nice, actually.

(Draught at Hörnan Belgobar, Stockholm) Golden brass colour with brief white head. Malty, spicy nose with notes of dried tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) and spicy hops. Spicy, slightly yeasty taste with tropical fruit and spicy hops in the finish. Not overly sweet. Not really complex, but deceptively easy too drink and quite nice.
