De Koninck

Bottle. dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit, sweet. Ordinary beer.

12oz bottle, a steal at $1.49 at west lakeview in chicago. pours clear auburn with small white head. nose is cherry pits, raisins, toffee, toasted biscuit, and grains. flavor is sorta muted, raw wet grains, dull biscuit, hints of cherry pits, rubarb. palate is just too dry and earthy. still a nice session belgian ale, but nothing special. mouth feel is too watery.

330ml bottle, out of date by 2 months. Nutty malt and citrusy hops on the nose. Pours a hazy deep gold sort of body with a white head. Flavour is remanisant of a good pilsner with Saaz hop character. Biscuity malt also apparent in the body with an almost peach like fruit note towards a dry finish. Easy drinking and refreshingly flavoured. A Belgian session ale me thinks.

Bottle: Poured and amber color with a creamy off white cream head. The aroma is malty and somewhat spicy. The taste is a rich malt flavor with suttle tingle of carbonation and metallic.

amber with a small tan head. malty pine aroma. watery body and light crisp carbonation. has a strong caramel floral flavor and a little citrus, leaving a metallic taste in the mouth

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).

0.25 l bottle. Amber color, diminishing head. Fruity, toasty and slightly spicy aroma. Toasty and malty flavor with tart fruitness, caramel, some metallic notes and hint of herbal hops. Light bitterness. De Konicnck is tasty on tap in Antwerpen but this bottle is quite boring.

Orange colour, small white head. Aroma: fresh, citrus. Fruity flavours; citrus. Nice balanced beer, but not special.
