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.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear golden color with a thick, creamy white head. Extra points for the beautiful bottle. Aroma of strong spices, pepper, orange peel and yeast. Flavor is quite bitter, very spicy and slightly sweet. Very bitter finish. Well balanced. Very lively carbonation. Very nice tripel style brew.

heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - DEC 14, 2010
03/10 0.33 l bottle from Vrutak store in Zagreb. It poured hazy pale yellow body with medium sized head. Nice yeasty aroma, cloying. Flavor is sweetish, fruity, mostly banana from the yeast, peach, some citrus and herbal hops maybe. Medium body with longer sweetish vanilla, banana and slightly acidic finish. Warming, as alcohol present both in flavor and aftertaste. Nothing special for the style, didn’t impress me, although generally enjoyable.

Hazy golden colour with a thick, frothy head. Aroma is gard to distinguish due to the head, but is quite sweet. Smooth, fruity (almost tropical) flavour, with a tangy after taste. Great beer.

Delirium Tremens. What a surprise. I’ve been meaning on trying this beer for a while and I finally got a chance to give it a shot and I’m definitely pleased. It pours out a clear yellow color, like a light gold hue. It has a frothy white head that had good retention and excellent lacing. The aroma was a bagful of smells. It ranges from caramel, to floral notes, apple, and you get the hint of alcohol. The flavor hit me as primarily apple with a bite of sourness and and overlay of sweet. The mild carbonation holds the flavors well and it was hard to notice the alcohol that lay dormant within the brew. Definitely a must try.

suurjuust (261) - Tartu, ESTONIA - DEC 4, 2010
Very lightly hazy gold, lasting head. Aromas of yeast, apple, cinnamon. A full-bodied beer, with lots of alcohol warmth, yeast, fruit, and a sweet malty finish, some hops in the aftertaste. A good belgian.
