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.

Drank from the tap at the Lazy boy Saloon in White Plains, NY. Tastes very light for an 8.5% beer. Nice subtle sweetness, some fruit flavors come through as well. Aftertaste is a little dry.

bembelembe (204) - Zagreb, CROATIA - MAR 21, 2010
One typical stronger belgian ale. Heavy on alcohol and soury-bitter fruitiness. Aroma of apple and citric fruits. Malty sweet, but not dominant. Spicy notes. Citric wheaty aftertaste. Medium carbonated. Smells of alcohol and citric fruits. Cloudy yellow body, medium head. Ceramic-like bottle attracts attention.

0o9i (434) - Reno, Nevada, USA - MAR 21, 2010
Bottle. Yellow-brown body, cloudy, topped with a big, creamy head of white--fully lasting, sheets and rings of lace. Aroma is earthy, grassy, lemon, clove, coriander, a delicate fruitiness. The palate is medium-full with creamy carbonation. Flavor is lightly sweet with sugar and clove, lightly sour with lemon, clove and a long, lightly hopped finish. The finish is woody, laced with clove, balanced, apple cider. Crisp and refreshing, enjoyed.

skoll (340) - Traverse City, Michigan, USA - MAR 18, 2010
Tasted at Griffin Beverage trade show. Hazy yellow-orange pour with generous bubbly but relatively short-lived head. Aromas of lemon and orange peel, tart apples, spice. Same tastes on palate, but a little fruitier and definitely yeastier. Easy to take down, especially for an 8.5% beer.
