Belgium boasts a diverse tapestry of beer, from monastic Trappists to Golden Ales. Each brew has a story, a legacy. Delirium Red from the house of Huyghe Brewery is no exception, gleaming like a ruby amidst this kaleidoscope, promising an experience that is both delightful and memorable.
Founded in the early 1900s, Huyghe Brewery in Melle, Belgium, has stood the test of time, and its Delirium series is testimony to its commitment to quality and innovation. With an elephant as its emblem, representing a journey into the world of dreams, the Delirium series offers diverse tastes and the Red is the fruity star of the show.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: A striking deep red, reminiscent of lustrous rubies, capped with a pink-hued frothy head that stands tall.
- Aroma: The scent of succulent cherries wafts up, invitingly sweet, punctuated by undertones of marzipan and a hint of almonds.
- Flavour: True to its aroma, ripe cherries dominate, but it's not cloyingly sweet. There’s a harmonious blend of tartness, enhanced by subtle malt undertones and a hint of spice, courtesy of its Belgian yeast.
- Mouthfeel: Silky smooth and effervescent, with a warmth that gently unfolds, thanks to its 8.5% ABV, leading to a satisfyingly semi-sweet finish.
While Delirium Red is an ode to cherries, it is not just a fruit beer. It's an experience that harmonises the fruity goodness with the sophistication of Belgian brewing techniques. Be it the casual drinker who seeks something different or the seasoned beer aficionado who wishes to revisit a fruity classic, Delirium Red is the answer.
Perfect for a warm evening or paired with desserts, this brew is versatile and welcoming. Its tantalising taste makes it an excellent companion for celebrations or a quiet evening of reflection. The allure of Delirium Red is undeniable, and each sip promises a journey into the world of dreams, much like the emblematic elephant suggests.
With each bottle, one not only tastes the beer but also the rich legacy of the Huyghe Brewery and the passion that goes into every brew. It's more than just a drink; it's a story, a legacy, a dream.
