Delirium tremens

After a disappointing working day - I was expecting an official statement by Barroso that he would refuse to have tea with the Uzbek President Karimov next Monday -, the impossibility to join a strategy meeting, combined with beer tasting in Brussels and the horrible defeat of the Germans today during the handball world championship, I decided to lay down on the couch, together with a nice bottle of Delirium Tremens.











Although tasted it already two weeks ago in Brussels, today's the time to concentrate on the stuff.

The label is famous (the pink elephant), the pub near Grand Place in Brussels is famous, and the beer itself?

With 8.5% alcohol, triple fermented, the first smell and taste is fruity, not as intense as other Belgian beers. After that, the yeast comes into the game, remembering me of some Bavarian Weissbier. Unfortunately, that's it!!! Still I was waiting for some other flavours, that first were not present, but even after half the glass, nothing else happened.

Don't know yet, if the tap Delirium is different, but this one definitely was the final conclusio of the day: Disappointing.
