Delirium Tremens

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Bottle from Food Emporium w Streets and Andy. Pours a pale, hazy pear yellow witha big, fizzy white head. Carbonation is audible. Sharp citrus and zest on the nose; sweet citrus and peach on the palate. Moderately tart, too. Spritzy and carbonated. Good.

Golden amber colour with a huge fluffy white head. Aromas of basement, Belgian yeasts, funky malts. Flavours of the same with dominant malt characters and a mouthfull of alcohol. The finish was one of lingering funky malts and astringent bitterness that sat, squatting on my tongue.

Reviewed from notes (2007). A: Straw/Orange body with a nice white frothy foam and massive lacing. S: A soft yeast aroma balances a strong bouquet of fruity goodness. T: Fruit and subtle alcohol sweetness combines in a remarkable way... lively bready yeast... nice blend of spiced notes... i like to equate this beer with liquid gold... its getting close to perfect, but it could do a bit more in the way of balancing flavors. M: Standard Belgian strong ale mouthfeel -- it tingles the lips and tongue just enough with the assertive carbonation and medium body. O: I can’t get sick of Delirium Tremens -- this is an absolute classic beer.

33 cl bottle. Nice golden colour and white foam. Aromas of yeast, citrusfruits and apples. Taste is sweet and fruity in the beginning. Then the yeast and the spices come in. The aftertaste is long and spicey, ending with pepper. A little bit dry. Medium body, creamy texture. A great tasteful beer because of the exceptional amount of yeast and herbs.

Pale gold with foamy white head, Flowers, ,alt, caramel, bread, and yeast in the aroma. Medium-light body is surprising for the alcohol content, flavors of caramel and maltiness and fair tartness or citrus flavor. Slight bitterness developing on tongue. Despite the high alcohol content the beer manages to avoid strong alcohol and phenol tastes.

Bottle. Aroma is apple, sweet fruits, and some spices. Taste is fruity sweet. High carbonation and light body.

Bottle. Pours translucent golden yellow with a thick, large, white head. Aroma is surprisingly spicy, some clove, slight banana, ripe fruits. Taste is also very spicy, some floral tones, ripe fruits, slightly sweet.
