Beer blogging: Delirium Tremens
Delirium tremens (or DTs) is the medical term for the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. It's also the name of a 10% or so ABV Belgian strong pale ale by Brouwerij Huyghe. I've been wanting to try it for ages, but at $16.99/4 pack, it's daunting, so when I saw it on the menu at Blueberry Hill, I had to get it. (It was $6.50 for the 11.2 oz bottle. I can handle restaurant prices on that.)
It pours a nice pale amber, similar to a Hefeweizen, only less cloudy. The head dissipated rather quickly.
The taste was nice; slightly hoppy but not horribly bitter. I'd drink it again if given the chance, though it's more of a summery brew than winter. I'm finding it difficult to recall precisely the flavor of this beer, but that doesn't mean it's an unassuming, bland beer. It's kind of like if a white beer didn't have the spices in it and had twice the ABV. It doesn't have the yeasty sweetness of a Hefeweizen, either.
Nice, drinkable beer.
