Delirio Review
I bought Delirio from WiseBartender, intrigued by its unique branding and alcohol-free promise. Upon my first sip, I was greeted with the familiar characteristics of a blonde beer, especially the malty aroma that wafted up as I poured it. The hoppy aftertaste was a pleasant surprise, reminding me of traditional blondes I have enjoyed in the past.
However, I found Delirio to be a tad too sweet compared to other beers, which detracted from its overall appeal. While the sweetness may appeal to some, it left me wishing for a more balanced flavor profile. Nevertheless, the beer still managed to be tasty, and I appreciated the unique white bottle and the elephant branding that sets it apart visually.
Delirio is part of the Delirium family, produced by Brouwerij L. Huyghe, a family-owned brewery in Belgium with a long history dating back to 1906. Known for its sustainable practices, Huyghe recently announced that Delirio is brewed using carbon-negative malt, which is a commendable step towards environmental responsibility.
Even though Delirio showcases some enjoyable qualities, the sweetness might not resonate with everyone. If you’re looking for an alcohol-free blonde that stands out among the crowd, Delirio is worth a try, but be prepared for a sweeter experience than typical blond beers.
