Stop! Have you had a De Koninck???
Have you, yet, treated yourself to this soft, velvety, slightly bitter and mildly spicy brew? If so, then you have already enjoyed the delicious maltiness that sets De Koninck apart from other beers. However, have you experienced this liquid amber in the traditional glass for high fermentation beers – the “bolleke”? If not, then seek one out and be prepared to have your De Koninck experience taken to levels not yet discovered!
The long stem and hollow bowl of the bolleke ensure the first draft allows a kiss of foam on the top lip to invigorate the senses, and then continues the sensory experience with the ensuing aroma.
When a De Koninck is poured perfectly into a bolleke, the glass ensures a full, frothy head and a creamy layer of foam that remains in the glass down to the very last mouthful.
Quench your thirst. Stop, and have a De Koninck and fill the bowl full!
