Duchesse Red 33 Cl.

Brouwerij Verhaeghe’s Duchesse Red is a 7% top-fermented Flanders Red Ale, matured for several months in wine oak casks and macerated with cherries, in the finest tradition of Flemish sour beers. On the nose it opens with fruity aromas touched by hints of almond and delicate notes of lightly sour cherry, an elegant bouquet that anticipates the complexity of the sip. On the palate the entry is sweet and fruity, with the cherry stepping forward generously, yet balance is never far away thanks to a tart thread that supports the sweetness and leads to a fresh, refreshing aftertaste. The time in oak adds depth and roundness, and the 7% alcohol supports the structure without weighing it down. A beer of noble character, to be served cool but not ice cold in a wide glass, alongside duck, blue cheeses, dark chocolate desserts or simply as a characterful aperitif.
