Other Information

A sweet and fruity beer with a pleasant, fresh oak, sour after taste.

Brewed with deep roasted barley malt and hops with a slight bitterness. After the primary fermentation and the second bearing, the beer undergoes a third fermentation of approximately 18 months in oak vats. The tannins present in the oak give the beer its fruity character. After this, the “Duchesse” is blended with younger from 8 months old. The result is a full and sweet flavour. A ruby red jewel of 6.2% which is best served between 8 and 12 degrees. A perfect beer!

  1. Phil D

    A fairly decent beer, but relatively run of the mill amongst Belgian beers. Wouldn’t rule out buying it again, but i think there are a few others in this price bracket that I would choose first

  2. Pukka P

    It seems people either love or hate Flemish red sour beers. Life doesn’t get much better than sipping this great ‘Burgundy of Belgium’ whilst nibbling from a plate of cheese and crackers on a leisurely Sunday afternoon.

  3. Neil Ward

    Really like the sour tang to this but with a bit of malty sweetness to take the edge off it.

  4. Chris H

    The Marmite of beers, this is certainly not for everyone. Not convinced I’m a huge fan of the sour beers but I can acknowledge when I get a good one, of which this is. Looks good (rugby red and a consistent head), taste wise, sour fruit notes are offset by a creeping maltiness. This grew on me.

  5. Sam Dutton

    A favourite. but it takes a bit of getting used to. Big, sour then fruity, not for the fainthearted. The sourness nicely balanced by the malt. Complex flavours, nice colour. As someone said — great with cheese.

  6. Jo Duncan

    Definitely a love / hate beer. If you don’t like sour, you won’t like this. As far as sour beers go, duchesse is up there with the best. Vinegar / cider vibe to the flavour. Robust and tangy.

  7. Chris Meechan

    A classic Flanders red ale with a lovely berry tartness and sweet spiced finish. Very refreshing.

  8. Jane Pattle

    The classic red Flanders sour beer. Beautifully balanced and complex. You will either love it or hate it. I love it probably the best and most consistent sour beer from Belgium.

  9. Stujago

    Very intriguing beer in the way that the initial taste is vinegar but it becomes curiously moreish, developing in to a richer, more fruity experience although the sourness is always present. Not for everyone!

  10. Chris Vanni

    A very rich beer with the combination of sour fruits and subtle chocolate. A lovely combination.
