De Koninck
Established in 1833 De Koninck is the only brewery in the famous city of Antwerp, it is the name of the brewery and the name of its main product. De Koninck is Antwerp?s everyday beer. No other city in Belgium has such a close relationship with its local beer and no other city in Belgium has such a specialty beer to call its own. The De Koninck brewery has been renovated, expanded and modernized several times over the years but the pride, passion and craftsmanship of the original brew masters has not been affected. Today, five generations later, the Van den Bogaert family maintains this noble tradition. De Koninck’s beers can be found all over the world. All of their beers are full-bodied top fermenting ales with velvety smooth flavors, using only natural and top quality ingredients. The best malt, the finest hops, the unique yeast, and clear water combined with brewing expertise to create widely acclaimed and loved beers.Learn more at De Koninck
De Koninck Ale
De Koninck is a soft, perilously drinkable ale: a toasty maltiness at first, then a spicy, almost cinnamon-like fruitiness; and finally the delicacy of Saaz hops in the finish.Pours a slightly reddish gold under a two finger white head that lasts forever, with good body and contour, but leaving just a few drops of lace. Sweet grainy malt with a hint of raspberry juice in the nose.
The mouth is very prickly, slightly cloying but reasonably light. The taste opens slightly sour, perhaps cherry, which nicely complements the bready malt taste.
A noticeably dry hops bitterness joins the party somewhat later, making for a fairly complex flavor profile. The usual francophone fruity twang is here, but the hops provide nice balance. The aftertaste brings back the sour cherry. A very pleasant, multi-faceted brew.
