Beer Advocate Review #270
Beer: Duchesse De Bourgogne
Brewery: Brouwerij Verhaeghe
Style: Flanders Red Ale
ABV: 6.2%
Serving: Bottle
Score: B+
Enjoyed this last night.
Poured from a 330ml. bottle, best before 13-05-11 (my last day at work!).
Appearance: Loads of tiny bubbles fill a murky brown-red body with off-white foam that just sits there with amazing retention and spidery lacing.
Smell: Vinegary a bit with some oak, sour cherries and a sweetness to round it off.
Taste: A mix of sweet and tart with some oak. Low on the vinegar and has a slight wine reminiscence (my daughter said that!) with some sour cherries. Quite good.
Mouthfeel: Very low carbonation with a bit of a thin body but not much. A very mellow feel.
Overall: A pleasant little beer. Not too harsh. I would certainly try this again.
