Oct 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 21, 2009Draught at City Beer, San Francisco. Pours a brownish red with a wonderful, fluffy, aromatic head. The aroma is full of fruit: dark grapes, dates, figs, apple, some cherry. Body is medium, smooth, a bit syrupy. The flavour is sour initially with a whole bunch of golden delicious apple, fig, cherry, wood in the finish.

Aug 9, 2009 Bottle from La Bodega Beer of the Month Club. WOW, this is beautiful. Pours a reddish brown with a light tan head. The nose reminds me of wine, much like a nail polish remover. Not bad but different. Once you take a drink it is a totally different brew. This is so smooth and fruity, lots of cherry. There is a good amount of carbonation. This dances on your tounge beautifully. There are sweet, tart, and sour notes all the way through this beer. The finish is smooth going down, a dry beer. Very tasty, and very drinkable. I love this sour ale, I WILL get this again.

Apr 12, 2009 Updated: Apr 13, 2009This one has a very good-looking label! Remind me the MacCallahan advertisement on TV at least ten years ago...
Anyway. Duchesse is special: never tasted one similar until now. Colour is dark red; smells woody (probably the oak where the ale age). Sour flavour, between vinegar and wine, and the aroma too, except a touch of cherry.

Sep 28, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours dark redish brown with a quickly discipating creamy white head. Initial aroma is sweet fruit with slight vinous and/or acetic elements. Body is medium full mainly from the younger of the blend. Depending on the age of the blend the sourness will vary. This sample was much more sour than others that I have had that have been almost cloyingly sweet. This beer is outstanding. A good balance between the younger more sweet beer in the blend and the assertively sour older beer. I recommend letting the beer age more so that the balance is there, as well as the complexity. A great beer to end the night of tasting on.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Lovely reddish brown with a creamy head. Head disappeared to leave wonderful lacing. Aromas are very much sweet and sour. Obviously quite complex. Plenty of vingary sourness here. Flavours are wonderful. Grapy, some malt sweetness and plenty of sour cherries. Yep certainly very complex. Mouthfeel is spot on. Great beer.
