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.

Nice golden color. It pretty much ends there for me. Extremely bitter on the first sip, then the alcohol takes over, big time! Just not a very enjoyable beer.

Andrew196 (1091) - Katy, Texas, USA - FEB 23, 2002

I didnt like this beer at all. I am biased against this golden belgian style. It looks like ginger ale, smells like yeast, and tastes like crap. It was way to fizzy for my liking too.

A hoppy, over carbonated belgian golden ale. Still a pleasure to drink.

To much carbonation, it would have been much better if I was not burping up every swallow.
