Slecht bier. Zijn reputatie niet waardig. Er zijn veel bieren van kleine brouwers die stukken beter zijn. Een standaard bier meer niet.

Bottle from Beer Ritz. Pours a clear amber, finger of head. Aroma is nice and complex: caramel, plums, figs, strawberry bonbons, Belgian yeast. Taste is disappointing, sadly: Sweetish water, caramel, plasticy. Some bitterness tries to balance the sweetness, but it’s just a bit messy and drab. Promised a lot, delivered not enough.

330ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Amber coloured body, thin wispy white head. Nose of demerara sugar and caramel. Rather sweet sugary taste, leaves a bitter taste at the end. Not too bad, but nothing special.

Amber coloured beer which is nice to drink. Taste is good but also quite standard. Let’s say a fine beer and good thirst-quencher.

draught pint/half litre in Amsterdam city centre. I think this was too cold and only took on a bit of character as it warmed up - I enjoyed the second 250 ml more than the first. The cold robbed it of all character initially. Maybe I’ll have to give it another go sometime as overall it was enjoyable

"Bolleke" de Koninck at ’De Valk’ Grote Markt Antwerpen. DRAUGHT. Appearance: clear amber beer, stable head. Nose: grains, hops, some grass, hay, fruity. Taste: lacks some taste, but mostly grains and fruits noticeable. Though a very refreshing beer.

A nostalgia beer for me. A time when I didn’t understand anything about beers, my girlfriend bring this beer for me. The beer was good, the girl was great, and now that girl is my beloved wife. The beer is reddish brown, quite weak and blond head. Aroma of bread, some roastiness and toffee, some fruits. Taste of malts, some fruits and nuts. Nuts and dry wood in the aftertaste. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation. Easy, belgian ale with brittish nuancess. Thanks for the great memories for my wife.

30cl bottle at home. Clear amber with a small white head. A watery, refreshing beer with hints of honey, caramel and notes.

Brownish honey, sweet aroma but subtle, the taste is not sweet enough, touch of bitter, caramel, watery but drinkable and overall acceptable.

Not a very interesting beer. The taste is pretty nice but noth to fancy. The look is not so good. All most no head
