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.

Really nice looking bottle. Looks almost like a lager. Taste is really sweet and yeasty with lots of caramel and spicey notes.

O nome é o charme dessa belga com personalidade. Tem no rótulo um elefantinho voador cor-de-rosa! Deliciosa! Coloração âmbar forte, aroma frutado intenso de banana e gosto forte sem ser agressivo, balanceadíssima.

Cloudy golden color with a decent white head. Heavy carbonation. Smell is sweet, fruits, pineapple, pear, malts, and apple. Taste is fruits, sweet, malts. Good mouthfeel.

If the beer’s called Delirium and it’s got a pink elephant on it, drink it! This stuff is fantastic! It pours a dark yellow with a big, flowing head. Pour it very carefully. It’s got a great citrus taste and goes down very smoothly. It’s hard to believe it’s 8.5%. You certainly won’t notice it until you stand up. This one’s a must have!

Pours a cloudy pale. Yellowish. Super creamy head that flows out of the bottle during the pop, without even shaking it. Smells and looks like a hefeweizen. Tastes banana, tropical. Citric. Extremely refreshing, great summer beer.

A lovely double wit-type belgian, a light golden white body with a gushing head, some haziness, and yeast floaters, nose of fruity yeast esters, some citrus spice and bread... clean flavors that are advertised by the aroma, easily goes down, no detectible alchohol intrusions... a lovely beer altogether.
