Brew:  Delirium Tremens

Brewery:  Brouwerij Huyghe

Style:  Belgian Strong Pale Ale ABV: 8.5%

Pours a clear deep golden yellow with a hint of orange, head is white and laces on the edge of the glass.  The nose is light but enticing with hints of Belgian yeast, spice, and citrus.  The taste is an extremely well tempered Belgian yeastiness surrounded by notes of banana, apple, peach, orange, and pepper. It is truly a pleasure to drink and has a sliky body with velvety lush texture. The taste is complex but extremely well-rounded and pleasing to the senses, it’s not hard to visualize sipping this beer in a Belgian “sound of music” style meadow during spring. Delerium Tremens is the classic of all classics as far as traditional Belgian beers go. This libation truly will remind you of the first great sip of beer you ever had.

Seller Description: Pale blond, the fine and regular effervesce ensures a fine and stable head. Slightly malty, a nice touch of alcohol, spicy. Feels like the sound shot of alcohol is igniting the mouth. In reality the tongue and palate are warmed. The taste is characterized by its roundness. The aftertaste is strong, long-lasting and dry bitter.
