Verhaeghe: Duchesse De Bourgogne


Some of you may have seen my previous posts regarding my quest for sour belgian ales. I found this one at a dinner theater a week ago and was both overjoyed and upset at the discovery. Overjoyed at the discovery of everything I was looking for in beer and upset that I could only get it at a dinner theater. A week later while wandering a wine shop, a crashing sound caught my attention. As I jumped back to avoid the wine bottle one of the clerks had knocked over I caught sight of this in the back of a shelf. My near death experience came to a happy ending as I now have a regular source of this amazing beer.

Brewery: Verhaughe (Vichte, Belgium)

ABV: 6.2%

Type: Flanders Oud Bruin

Aroma: Cherry and vinegar

Taste: Strong cherry flavors with a tangy vinegar undertone.

Overall: An outstanding sour belgian ale. The second fermentation gives it the perfect blend of sour and tang.

Rating: 10/10
