De Koninck

Brewed by Brouwerij De Koninck (Duvel-Moortgat)
Style: Belgian Ale
Antwerpen, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Pours bright orange/amber into a tulip. Fluffy off-white head pancakes and laces as it slowly recedes. Candi sugar aromas. Slightly sour upfront with a lasting dry bitter metallic finish.

Bottle. Amber beer with a light head. The aroma is lighlty dry and roasted and the flavour is quite dry and burn’t tasting with a watery finish. Overall an average beer.

Deep amber colour, minuscule head and some unexpected sediment. The nose is quite enticing with its full-on jammy raspberry profile. Curiously, very little of this raspberry expresses itself in the flavour. Rather than fruity, the flavour is bitter and woody; if anything it’s raspberry seeds, not raspberry fruit. Regardless, the flavour is still quite pleasing and the juxtaposition between aroma and flavour makes for an interesting experience.

Bottle, Dodgy Deli, Oxford. Bronze red pour with a small layer of dirty beige head. Cinnamon and overripe strawberry aroma. Bright carbonation, lots of berry fruit esters, clean malt. A tiny hint of bitterness, and bit of lingering sticky.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2007 1 May 2006 (Rerated 30 May 2006) - Light fruit malt hop aroma. Close to clear amber-red -brown colour, reasonable head and OK lacing. Sweet but big hop flavour. Metallic, bitter full hop and wheat aftertaste.

Pours with a beautiful white head, and has a non distinct bitter hops taste. Warms up nicely, but no world beater

Sweet malt hop aroma. Crystal clear red brown colour with fair head and lacing. Bitter hop malt flavour. Flat palate.

Tap at Ginger Man Houston. Malty aroma. Flavor is a very creamy, almost milky malt. I enjoyed it.
