hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tart and sour character as Duchess Rouge. A Flanders red ale blended from fresh American oak foeders and cabernet barrels. Wild fermentation brings sour cherry and red berry over a malt base of caramel and dark bread, with oak, vanilla and a faint leathery note from the long ageing. The acidity is moderate and rounded rather than sharp, bitterness is negligible at 10 IBU, and the finish is tart and dry with the wood holding on longest. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
