Delirium Red – Premium Belgian Cherry Beer

Delirium Red from Brouwerij Huyghe in Melle is far more than an ordinary fruit beer. It's a Belgian strong ale with a cherry base – intense, complex, and with a character that instantly wins over fruit beer skeptics.

Style: Belgian Strong Fruit Beer (Cherry Beer)
Alcohol: 8.0% ABV
Brewery: Brouwerij Huyghe, Melle, East Flanders, Belgium
Content: 33 cl
Bottle: Characteristic Delirium frog bottle in red

Taste Profile

• Deep ruby red with a lively pink head
• Intense cherry aroma – fresh, not artificial
• Notes of morello cherry, raspberry, and a hint of vanilla
• Fine acidity elegantly balances the sweetness
• Surprisingly light and fresh on the palate despite 8% ABV
• Long, fruity-dry finish

What sets Delirium Red apart from other cherry beers

Most Belgian cherry beers (Kriek) are Lambic-based and sour-tart. Delirium Red takes a different approach: it uses real cherries in a more strongly fermented base beer – the result is a fruit beer with the strength and complexity of a strong ale, not a sweet drink.

Those familiar with Liefmans Kriek or Lindemans Kriek will find a more mature, robust alternative in Delirium Red.

The Delirium Family: Pink Elephant, Green Frog

Delirium Red belongs to the famous Delirium family from Brouwerij Huyghe – recognizable by its unique spotted ceramic bottle. The pink elephant (Delirium Tremens) is the most well-known member; the green frog (Delirium Red) is its fruity sibling. Both have received numerous international awards.

Food Pairing
