Today was a Monday, and let's leave it at that. Marci thinks she's getting sick, we're having soup for dinner, I picked up new running shoes. Yes, another pair of Saucony Triumphs, and no, they're not neon orange. Let's just leave it at that and get to the bottom of a glass of beer, shall we?
And what a fine beer indeed - Delirium Tremens from the good people at Brouwerij Huyghe in (guess where?) Belgium. Another brewery Marci has already crossed off her list, so I'm catching up here. Before you even get to the beer, you notice the unusual opaque bottle with a pink elephant dancing gracefully on the label. This beer pours a clear pale gold color, and while the aroma isn't overpowering, there's a light, fruit scent on the nose. The taste brings a pleasant mix of malt, yeast, and a peppery spice on the finish. The aroma isn't overpowering, but has a light fruit nose. There are banana notes along the way, and a light, effervescent finish. You barely notice the 9% ABV, which is mildly dangerous, as I could drink this beer all day. Every day. Which is why it's headed for my Top 25 list, people. Also important to note, this brewery has been in operation since 1654, which astounds me with its awesomeness.
I neglected to take a picture of my beer, so here's a picture of my new shoes. What up.
Thing to Think About Today:
Thought about making some form of Huggy Bear reference to play on the Huyghe brewery name, but that didn't seem quite right, despite how awesome Huggy Bear was on Starsky & Hutch.
