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.

Pours an ultra pale yellow. Ester aromas dominate. Attach is a typically belgian sour flavor, which fades to a nice balanced finish. A touch of ester flavors pervade but otherwise a decent beer.

11.2 oz. bottle with ceramic look. Golden and a little cloudy pour with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Very slightly sweet hiding the alcohol content. Lots of carbonation. Very drinkable.

Pours a rather golden amber colour, clear with a small white head. The aroma is earthy with lots of fruit, particularly apples but also apricot and peach, it is also slightly hoppy. The taste is sweet and fruity with a little bitterness to it. It is smooth and fairly easy to drink, light-medium body and the carbonation is quite lively. Overall a good enjoyable beer.

On tap at the Yard House in Glenview. Pours clear dark golden with small white head. Aromas of citrus, banana, yeast, light hops, pale malts. Flavor of sweet pale malts, yeast, banana, light citrus, some hop bitterness and booze. Kinda meh as far as flavor goes. Nice beer but some people treat this shit like liquid crack. Don’t get the following really.

Draft at Fiddler’s Hearth in South Bend, tried on the night of DLD ’10, probably not a wise choice while winding down the day. I was bound to get this somewhere at some point, so having sampled a lot of other things they had in the past, this stood out on the menu. Poured a light yellow, lighter than I’d expected, with some cloudiness and a small white head. Aroma is big on Belgian yeast, with some fruity esters, straw, bready malts, and hops. The flavor is basically the same; a little banana in each as well. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a bready mouthfeel. Pretty solid Belgian, about what I expected.

hazy straw color, thin white head, medium body, high co2.

aroma and taste are bright; with lots of apple, green brush, tartness, and complex yeast esters (with banan and clove, similar to hefewiezen). full of complexity and bright fresh flavor. hides alcohol well, and is quite sessional for a warm day on the patio.
