Duchesse Rosé

Tap to rate

Duchesse Rosé is a fruited version of the classic Duchesse de Bourgogne, blended after oak maturation with natural cherry juice. It pours a bright, cherry-red colour under a pink-tinged head. The nose is dominated by ripe cherry and light almond, with the oak and balsamic notes of the base beer in the background. The palate is soft and juicy, with sweet-tart cherry, a whisper of red berry and a rounded, slightly caramelized malt; the finish is short and gently tart, easy-drinking and refreshing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy, with sweet-tart cherry balanced by a whisper of red berry character. A rounded, slightly caramelized malt foundation provides structure and warmth, while the oak integration remains gentle and refined throughout the mid-palate.
