About this release

Duchesse Cherry by Brouwerij Verhaeghe is brewed exclusively with real Belgian cherries without flavor enhancers or cherry extracts. The precious fruit comes directly from the Sint-Truiden region in Limburg, Belgium. Unlike the better-known Kriek beers, the base beer of this Duchess Cherry is not a Lambic but a red-brown ale from West Flanders with mixed fermentation. This characterful beer has a high fermentation base and is subsequently matured in oak barrels where it undergoes a second wild fermentation. The brewery from Vichte has created a unique interpretation of the classic Belgian fruit beer with this brew. With an alcohol percentage of 6.0 percent, Duchesse Cherry offers a perfect balance between the natural cherry character and the complexity of the red-brown ale. It is best served at a temperature of around 7 degrees, where the subtle flavors come fully into their own. This beer is a true classic among beer enthusiasts and enjoys great appreciation in the international beer community with an Untappd rating of 3.91 out of 5 stars based on over 32,600 reviews. With its unique brewing process and exclusive use of authentic cherry variety from Belgium, Duchesse Cherry clearly distinguishes itself from standard fruit beers. Brouwerij Verhaeghe, based in the Flemish town of Vichte, has once again proven why this producer is a respected name in the world of traditional Belgian beer. For lovers of authentic Belgian fruit beers, this 330ml bottle is a must-have addition to your beer collection.
