Basically, this is Duchesse de Bourgogne "Lite"... if you like Duchesse, then you’re not going to be particularly impressed with this. If you don’t like the Duchesse, there’s a chance you’ll like this, as all the flavors are rounded off, so you don’t have to think as much. Not bad, but as long as the Duchesse is still flowing, I know what I’ll be drinking.

Nov 30, 2008 I hate sour beers. I really do. But, this one is definitely one of my favorites. It’s not overblown. it doesn’t taste like vinegar. It’s lightly soured, refreshing and easy to drink. Classic.

Nov 29, 2008 Poured a chestnut brown body with a very quickly diminishing, off white head. Light balsamic vinegar, cranberries, and apples on the nose. Tasted of sour apples, lemon citrus, and a hint of white vinegar, pleasant. Bubbly and medium palate, watery, goes down easily. Good sour ale.

Nov 29, 2008 A solid drop, but too late to savour after dinner, as I did. Not so complex (obviously) it finishes with a TM sour finish. I prefer Duchess to this, but thats a personal preference. enjoyable

does not count  Nov 26, 2008 The bottle I got had an extremely low carbonation level. Poured nearly flat, with a dark amber color and no real head to speak of. Had the aroma of "sour patch kids" candy. Flavor was mildly sour, yet complex , light and refreshing at the same time.
I brought this beer home from Belgium, wish I had brought more than one bottle
