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.

A very unique tasting beer. Pours a very nice gold colour with a large white head. It is a very fruity/herby tasting beer. Not bad overall.

Incredible, beautiful tasting craft beer. This was delight to find & savour the flavour. Amazing, chewy, Belgian beer that was sumptuos & worth purchasing again. The bottle seems like ceramic but is sprayed which intrigued me. This beer is outstanding & fully recommended

Aroma is citrus and reminded me of apple cider. Appears golden, sparkling, a bit cloudy, with a very frothy head that dissolves very fast. Highly carbonated and lively with taste of citrus and herbs. Cool bottle.

This is one of the better beers that I have ever had. It has a unique flavor that you have to try.

Pretty solid Belgian beer. Tasted off a 75cl bottle which I always think is a bit tastier than the smaller bottles. Pleasant aroma with full blonde colour and nice head. Taste is hoppy but not over the top considering the strength. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Where to start; rich, boozy - not one to knock back; the cacophony of flavours in this is bewildering - you know you are in the presence of greatness. Best beer I have ever had by some distance.
