Duchessa, our spelt beer, is a typical product from our territory. Inspired by traditional Belgian Saisons, it persuadues you with its pleasentness and fresh elegance. The creamy and abundant head releases fruity (banana, pineapple, tropical fruit) and floral aromas which are animated by a slight pepperiness. Its fine carbonation, slight acidity and moderate hop profile make for a fresh beer that is never overpowering and is pleasant from start to finish.

11.1 oz (33cl)Bottle from Boise Co-op. Poured into Duvel tulip, lazy carbonation, suspended particulates, thickish body. Deep golden cloudy pour, smallest of heads. Floral herbal aroma, some cheese, some mustiness. Graininess in the taste, close to a witbier, but I think it is the alternate grain (spelt) which is driving this beer’s character. I’ve had this style before in Germany. spelt is an ancient food grain.

Bottle from Food Show on sale for ¥400. Pours a fairly clear, light gold with a small white head that lingers throughout. Some yeast present as well under the head. Pear, green apple grapefruit, orange juice and lemon zest on the nose. Taste is sweet and lightly tart with a funky Belgian yeast character on the palate. Soft carbonation with just a hint of milky texture...lacto maybe? Finish is crisp and sweet, with a very slight dryness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Duchessa on 03 Nov 2015 at 22:00 - Score: 7
