Brouewerij Verhaeghe "Duchesse de Bourgogne"

RATING:

94 points: Beverage Tasting Institute, (A-) Beer Advocate

DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS: "Red, burnished dark copper color with a frothy manilla head. Sweet caramel, spice, tart apple skin, and cider vinegar aromas. A racy, zesty entry leads to a sweet and bracingly tart medium-to full-bodied palate with caramel apples, cider vinegar, vanilla, and brown spices. Finishes with a caramel and sour apple skin fade. A challenging but very rewarding beer that is a great example of a naturally soured Flemish red ale.” –Beverage Tasting Institute: 94 points
