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.

Transperant golden color but not lacking in flavor. Carries well balanced flavors of hop and sweet fruit. Smooth flavors, quite delicious yet not mild in flavors. Minimal carbonation. Very much a Belgian beer in taste.

Pink elephants are pretty sexy, even Honkeybra remembered that part about the beer. Crushed it while sitting downwind with a light shining through. So lots of banananas and spices plus a great look at the floaties, and I loves me some floaties. Good brew.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold color with a nice sized fluffy white head. Aroma is somewhat malty with a nice spicy fruit zest like coriander. Flavor starts out a bit lemony and mellows during the finish into a bit of a spiced fruit and cinnamon note. Some lemon tartness lingers for a bit. Medium bodied. Pretty good sipping beer for a hot day

Draft. pours a little bit of a hazy golden color. Sweet and fruity aroma with hints of alcohol. Full body with malty sweetness. Good beer.

All sorts of flavors are jam packed in here. First had at Monk’s in Philadelphia, lots of pine and citrus but also yeasty elements shine through.

On tap at Freakin’ Frog in Las Vegas. Pours a hazy gold orange color with a bright white head that lasts quite a while and leaves moderate lacing. Aroma is yeasty, with notes of spice and banana. Flavor is similar, with lots of fruity overtones. The finish is dry and alcoholic. A very solid beer, but not the best of this style.
