Delirium Tremens

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Golden hazy beer with a great collar. Spicy and fruity aroma. The hop and malt tastes are perfectly balance. The sensation in mouth is incredible.

as close to perfect as i can ask for..... amazing flavor..... i feel every sip yields a different note to my taste buds..... could drink this stuff forever,.....that is, until the surprisingly high alcohol content catches up with me

In Belgien ist man schon sehr kreativ, was die Namensgebung von Bieren anbelangt. Delirium Tremens steht mit auf dem Treppchen. Das Bouquet ist überaus fruchtig und erinnert an Mirabellen. Sehr hefiger und fruchtiger Geschmack (Feige,Rosine), im hohen Maße feinprickelnd auf der Zunge. Der Alkohol ist immer vorhanden, hämmert aber nicht zu stark in die Geschmackswelt hinein. Delirium Tremens ist ein tolles Tripel, das die Gratwanderung zwischen gutem Geschmack und hohem Alkoholgehalt erfolgreich meistert.Test vom 20.2.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Clear, dark yellow, good head. Aroma is funky pineapple. Taste is some pineapple with spices to it. This beer started me on the road to NOT liking Belgians. After taking a tour through many Belgian styles and coming back to this one, I’m actually enjoying it.

Delirium tulip at Cubby Bear North. Can’t say that I, would elect this the best beer in the world. Belgian strong ales are among my favorite beers, but this is just average. Does a poor job of hiding the alcohol content, and just isn’t as good as I was expecting.

Bottle 33 cl. Poured golden in colour with creamy white head. Lots of carbonation going on. Sweet sugar, malty, some spices and yeast in aroma. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Sweet malty and yeasty in flavour. Quite sticky mouthfeel. Mostly sweet malty in aftertaste with some yeasty notes. Light notes of something sour as well with hints of spices in finish.

Tap, poured a nice frothy head and it smelt like a belgian, there was a kind of an amber colour in the pour and the taste was very nice it was somewhat wood like with the spicy/belgiany taste.

Extreme head, very assertive carbonation, with an overpowering sensation on your tongue. Aroma is yeast and some, to me, unrecognizable spices. A tiny hint of metal as well. Quite fresh, but it’s the after taste that does not really suit me.
