Duchesse Cherry is a fruit-forward variant of the classic Flemish red beer, combining the typical acidity with intense cherry notes. The taste is characterized by ripe, sweet and sour cherries that harmoniously blend with the wine-like freshness and subtle wood nuances. A light caramel sweetness provides balance and softly rounds off the overall profile. Aging in oak barrels creates a pleasant depth, while the fruit gives the beer an accessible, lively note. Water, barley malt, hops, yeast, and cherries are used, resulting in a balanced interplay of fruitiness, acidity, and a malty base. This beer is especially suitable for those who appreciate complex, slightly tart specialty beers with a fruity character.
