BREWERY DESCRIPTION:
Ah, the Pink Elephant. Who can forget the 8.5% of alcohol that dances behind this signature beer's stylishly grey befoiled walls? Sip Delirium Tremens slowly to reveal the depth of its taste bouquet - bitter at first, then delightfully peppery, lending an air of irreverence to a body and aroma that are at once malty and robust; a nice touch of alcohol, spicy aromas with what 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.
This unique and sumptuous character is owed to a distinctive brewing process involving 3 types of yeast and centuries of tradition. Just nine short years after it was born at the Huyghe brewery, Delirium Tremens was crowned a world champion beer in 1998. It's certainly a lager at its best - straightforward, yet captivating and altogether gratifying.
