Delirium Tremens

The Belgian Classic with the Pink Elephant

The classic from Brouwerij Huyghe in Belgium.

A fine bead almost like champagne, pleasantly sweet malt notes and a solid kick of alcohol are the order of the day with the beer that carries the pink elephant...

Delirium Tremens is probably the best-known classic from the Belgian Huyghe brewery – unmistakable thanks to the pink elephant and its distinctive bottle.

In the glass, this powerful Belgian beer appears pale blond with a fine, lively bead and a stable head. On the nose, lightly malty and spicy aromas meet the clearly noticeable warmth of the alcohol.

At 8.5% ABV, Delirium Tremens has real strength, yet remains surprisingly smooth. The powerful body is accompanied by a fine bitterness and finishes long, dry and bitter. A characterful Belgian strong beer that has long been one of the modern classics of the Belgian beer world.
