The Beer Advent Calendar 2012 - December 2nd

Today's beer is nice, and I've got nothing else of note to say - so I'll just get straight to it.

Brouwerij Huyghe - Delirium Tremens
I've been meaning to try this beer for a long time now, a friend told me about Delirium Nocturnum a few years ago and I've been keeping an eye out for it since.
This isn't Delirium Nocturnum (as the more astute of you would have noticed) but who cares? It's got a pink elephant on it.  There are four varieties of Delirium - Tremens, Nocturnum, Christmas and Red.


It comes in a fancy ceramic-look bottle and weighs in with an 8.5% ABV
Looks - Pale golden colour, formed a foamy head upon pouring but that cleared fairly quickly.
Smells - Fruity, with a little spice and a little malt.  I've a cold at the moment which has diminished my sense of smell but the smell of this made me want to just pour it down my throat.
Taste - This beer tastes nommy-nommy-nom.  Crisp and fruity at first, then finishes with a familiar dry and yeasty flavour you often get with Beligian beers.  Deceptively easy to drink.

Very nice, highly recommended.
