I just tried Duchess de Bourgogne and it was amazing! I will post a full tasting review on it in the "Belgian Beers" forum.
Enjoy Great Beer!

The Duchess is the beer that got my wife into sours. She loved it so much that when we went to Russian River this summer, that's all she wanted. We've got a few bottles sitting on the shelf... waiting to be cracked open.

Also... it's not REALLY sour, but if you let it age long enough, you'll get some good funk out of it - Ommegang Ommegedon (funkhouse ale). Good stuff.

- Boon Geuze
- Girardin (IMO the best geuze out there)
- anything from Jolly Pumpkin
- Rodenbach
- Panil
- Monk's cafe Flemish Red
- New Glarus makes great sours
- any RR sours
- if you can get your hands on some Struselensis (deStruise), thats a good one
- lindemans makes some good fruit lambics
- Ommegeddon by Ommegang is not quite sour, but bretty-ish sometimes
-1809 (Weihenstephan) is a nice berliner weiss

that should keep you busy :)

keep a unibroue cellared for a few years, it just might become a awesome sour ale, I've had 7-8 year old unibroue ales go "bad" on me and turned out great!

and chambly noire is not supossed to be a sour ale.
