COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle Conditioned.
Launched on December 26th 1989 @ 9% abv. Abv reduced from 9% to 8.5% in 2003.
The particular character and the unique taste of "Delirium Tremens" result from the use of three different kinds of yeast. Its very original packing, which resembles cologne ceramics, and the colourful label contribute to its success.
In 1997, Stuart A. Kallen nominated Delirium Tremens as "best beer in the world". A gold medal during the "world beer championships" in Chicago (1998) confirmed that worldwide recognition.

750 ml bottle in a tulip. Pours spake golden color with an off-white head. Aromas are yeast, bread, straw and some spices. Body is medium with ample carbonation including very large bubbles. Nice Belgian flavors in this very traditional ale. Overall, a very solid example of Belgian goodness.

Cerveja TOP. Tomei o chopp no EAP. Copo perfeito. Cerveja forte, contudo a drincabilidade é natural. Coloração alaranjada clara. Espuma de boa formação e cheiro frutado - excelente. Sabor frutado e com balanço de amargor, docura e frutas muito bem equilibrados. Uma ótima cerveja.

BeerCast_Rich (1056) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAY 25, 2011
[330ml bottle, Peckhams Stockbridge, Edinburgh] Pours a hazy golden colour, with a thick fluffy white head. Aromas of yeast and banana, with other fruit on the nose as well. Highly carbonated, very effervescent in the mouth. Tastes very much like a Beglian wit, although it hides the alcohol well. Very fruity – almost peachlike at times. Dry finish [25102007]

Martinus (663) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - MAY 23, 2011
Pale yellow colour, fluffy white head. Fruity sweet aroma, caramel, some malts and quite yeasty. Flavour is malty sweet, fruity, some candy sugar, quite full-bodied. Light hint of hops. Finish quite fruity, spicy and slightly hoppy. Bit sweet but very decent. (From 33cL -kitsch- bottle)
