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.

One of my favorite Belgian beers. Peppery aroma with a bit of spice in the flavor as well. Full body with a long finish. Hints of banana in this one as well. Love this beer!

Straw coloured clear beer like a lager with some head. After pouring the yeast in the beer becomes hazy yellow. The aroma has typical belgian yeast and some citrus fruits. The taste is overly sweet like a wheat beer and there’s some alcohol pushing through. Gets better towards the end of the glass.

Pours clear golden with lots of head. Aroma is spicy and fruity, not very strong though. Flavor is spicy too, peppery even. Hides the alcohol quite well.

Kaatuu lasiin kullankeltaisena ja hieman sameana vaahdon ollessa todella iso ja muodostaa paljon vahvaa pitsiä. Hiilihappojakin näyttää olevan paljon, kun ne nousevat lasin pohjalta. Haju on mausteisen belgihiivainen ja raikkaan sitruksinen, lisäksi siinä on yrttisyyttä. Maussa on jälleen mausteista belgihiivaa ja yrttisyyttä (ainakin korianteria?), sitrustakin on mukana. Suutuntuma on hiilihappoisen pirskahteleva ja hyvin raikas. Raikas ja kesäinen belgiale, jossa alkoholi on hyvin piilotettu.

EtTuCthulhu (461) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - JUN 1, 2013
The aroma is very close to what you expect from a trippel due to the sour fruit smells, and the appearance is a clear golden color with a medium white head. The taste is quite sweet and mildly sour, and the palate combines a medium body, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a long sweet and sour finish.

BlackWarrior (182) - Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA - JUN 1, 2013
Best By 1/12, so it’s a bit old... Aroma of citrus and tropical fruit, some bready malts and a hint of ginger. Pours a hazy copper with a good amount of sediment and large foamy white head that lingered a while. Med/lt body with a smooth mouthfeel and avg carbonation. Plenty sweet without being sticky or cloying. Fruity and biit sour with sweetbread malts. A hint of alcohol warmth in the finish. Excellent brew.
