RATINGS: 2053   WEIGHTED AVG: 3.59   EST. CALORIES: 255   ABV: 8.5%
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.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2010 Immediate aroma of yeast rolls with a pine & mint hoppiness mixed in. Lemon yellow in color with a malty sweet flavor. Slight hops aftertaste. Very fizzy on the palate. Overall, its ok, but not exciting.

Very flavorsome beer. Very sweet. Slick. I thought it looked great. Beautiful in colour with a long lasting head.

ComradeK (466) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - MAY 19, 2010
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold, with a sizeable head, which lasts throughout the beer. The floating yeast flakes give it a very classy look. It is quite fruity on the nose, very similar to a hefeweizen. There is a moderate initial hops hit, with a very slight note of citrus. The finish is smooth and quite sweet. The only real issue I have with this beer is a slightly too sweet aftertaste. A very good beer indeed.

C’est un nuage blanc qui se dépose sur un liquide blond, clair et pétillant. Le malt, le houblon, les épices et de la levure se transportent sous mon nez. La bouche reçoit des saveurs douces et fruitées avec une amertume juste à point. Le liquide réconforte le palais, prend beaucoup d’espace et se fait persistant en arrière-goût. En résumé, toujours bon.

Barreras (368) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - MAY 13, 2010
Pours a cloudy golden yellow, with good aroma of fruitiness. The beer tastes very crisp and easy drinking. Slight flavor of mixed fruit and slight bitter aftertaste. A good Belgian Strong Ale that was tasty to drink.
