La De Koninck ambrée est une institution dans la ville d’Anvers, mais la blonde est peut-être encore supérieure.... Une couleur blond d’or. Une mousse bien blanche, onctueuse Arômes superbes de céréales, orge et levure Un volume soyeux et généreux. Très belle prise de bouche sur la céréale, avec une amertume fine en arrière-bouche. Un 2ème goût bien équilibré entre saveur, amertume et levure. Une très belle levure (que l’on peut boire à Anvers dans un petit verre séparé...) Donc du grand art pour une blonde basique (6%) Une vraie blonde belge : soyeuse, généreuse, douce.

what a sensational ber from de Koninck, i think it's even better than the original, very nice colour(a little lighter), nice aroma's they appear a bit more fruity, they last longer, and this beer is nice going commercially aswell, it's bitter finsh is a nice added bonus, so you ca easyly order an other one

This beer has a gold yellow body - hue with a bitter initial flavor and a light body.

resin, bread, cheese, bubblegum, cooked vegetables, orange, cloudy, minimal head, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, heavily sour, umami, medium body, sticky, creamy, average carbonation, long finish,

(draught) Lovely golden colour, light head, fantastic lacework in the chalice glass: this is one attractive beer. The good malty taste, 6% ABV and longish aftertaste all add up to a very satisfying drink. Having said that, I followed it 20 minutes later with the amber (draught), which is still my favourite tipple in Antwerp.

Bottle: Complex body, banana, citrus with coriander clearly present, very refreshing another good Belgian Ale.

Bottle @ The Bishops Arms! Clear yellow colour,nice creamy head. Aroma has a yeasty,hopy,dust,citric mix ,with nice hopy ending. Flavor is almost the same.medium body,with a nice medium yeasty/fruity finish. Nice

Gold-amberish; thin white dense head, fast gone. Nose of freshly cut melon, malt, grassy and some Thai herb. Very malty taste; fine bitter finish (Saazhops obviously). Lemony aroma retronasal, some grapefruit and maybe some melon again. Light to medium-bodied. Long fine bitter aftertaste. Quite fruity (yeast?), surprisingly original. Is this a new beer, will De Koninck tripel be a new beer? Antoon, Cuvée and Begyn are gone anyway. The brewery says yes, of course, I was more sceptical, but I'm beginning to believe them. But will it save De Koninck from the plummeting sales of amber ale?

Very nice belgian ale. Orange colour with small head. Aroma is hoppy and a bit sweet. Flavor are fruity with some malt. Palate is smooth wich make this an easy drinking beer.

On tap: An excellent beer. Looks like a standard blonde with the exception that it had a big fluffy white head, the same bubbly carbonation/lacing very clear golden color. Aroma was sweet and nice. Flavor ratehr floral and fruity, very good and different for many belgian ales/blondes (thought it was a blonde due to name and appearence) but taste is sweeter and ale-ish because it is an ale.
