+ .5 i love flanders of almost any style - if i never drink another duchess, i'll be just fine. for that style i love ichtegems... not nearly as sweet but has lots of body and very little acetic quality to it.

What about the New Belgium "La Folie"?

It is a good sour but much more acidic then Duchesse.

My wife and I just opened one as our first taste of a "sour" beer. She really likes it. The acetic acid flavor wasn't very strong, but a hint of it on the nose. It was sweeter than I expected. Bottle says it's a blend of 8 and 18 month old beers.

I wasn't crazy enough about it to want to brew this exact beer, but I like the change of pace with the bit of sourness.

I have some others in the fridge to try and a local pub always has a good selection.
