De Koninck

Brewed by Brouwerij De Koninck
Style: Belgian Ale
Antwerpen, Belgium

To be honest, I really drank this one colder than it should have been. Aroma was sulphurous. Medium brown beer, not much head, interesting label. Mild ester, medium-lightly bittered. Not very sweet. Light spice. Finishes quickly, leaving a mild banana shadow.

Very mild caramel and grass nose. Some grainy notes with a touch of malt. Good head retention with a nice release of gases. Mildly herbal. Soft mouthfeel and a clean finish. A session belgian.

A bit on the watery side. Grainy taste. Golden, amber coloured beer. Plain.

Red amber bdy with a creamy beige head. (3+) Sweet fruity aroma over malt. Flavour is similarly fruity with just enough hoppy bitterness to offset the malt sweetness a bit. Average Palate, lingering fruity aftertaste. Enjoyably quaffable and well rounded but kind of unexciting.

A little dissapointing considering that many people I know worship this brew. Amber hue with flavors of spices and malts with that generic belgian flair.

Slightly hazy amber w/ large, creamy pale tan head. Sweet, mildly peppery/spicy aroma w/ fruity/citrus & light metallic notes. Light, highly carbonated feel. Flavour is malty, yeasty, spicy, & well-balanced but surprisingly bland for a Belgian Ale.

Quickly thinning head. Dark amber with a few large floaties. Sweet aroma a mixture of icing sugar, alcohol and vanilla. Flavour-wise the beer can be described as a Belgian session ale or a Belgian amber ale. No dominant flavours. A light vanilla flavour.

33 cl bottle. Served in Westmalle goblet. Clear copper color. Nice head. Malty, pleasantly sweet, moderately bitter. Very well-balanced and harmonic. Eminently drinkable.
