hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and tart character as Vichtenaar. Vichtenaar is the local sibling of Duchesse de Bourgogne, named after the village of Vichte. It is a blend of young top-fermented brown ale and old ale matured in oak foeders. It pours a rich red-brown under a firm off-white head. The nose is fresh and lightly tart, with red apple, vinegar and oak, over a caramel malt base. The palate is dry and sharply tart, with sour cherry and green apple, and only a hint of sweetness; the finish is short, dry and cleansing. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
