The Koene Ridder from Rock City Brewing is a Belgian Tripel at 8% ABV that embodies the spirit of Amersfoort. This craft-brewed beer was the brewery's sole permanent offering for its first 1.5 years, a testament to owner Koen Overeem's commitment to quality without compromise on ingredients.

It arrives in a golden blonde hue topped with a creamy head. The nose reveals coriander, fresh fruity hop character and subtle malt sweetness. The palate is soft and rounded, balancing the hop bitterness with the full body expected from a true tripel.

The name draws from a local folktale about an enormous boulder dragged ten kilometres into the city by 400 people. A beer with character and story, brewed at a modern brewpub just outside Amersfoort.
