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.

Smells belgian-y. pours a cloudy gold with lots of stuff floating around in it. has a spice flavor with noticeable alcohol flavor and finish. sort of light bodied. pretty sweet and fruity. i got it because of the cool bottle, but i could’ve gotten a saison dupont for the same price :(

Tap, Brussels Ibis. A delight to watch poured, long lasting white foamy head. You can taste the alcohol, but at nearly 9%abv, it’s not that full-on. Hints of fruit and citrus. Great beer served in a cool tulip glass. Pink elephants.

From 11.2oz. bottle. Poured cloudy yellow with alot of floaties and large white foamy head. Aroma is quite yeasty and also detected malt. Flavor is fairly light, high abv. is hidden very well. Overall a good beer but not as good as I expected.

Single bottle @ the rock...Golden color with lasting soapy looking head. Aroma lets you know it is Belgian, with fruity yeast notes coming through strong. Taste is somewhat acidic with some fruit (apple juice, banana). Very lively and full palate. 8.5 is hidden completely in this bottle.

Taste 7/8 Bottle(07). Looks: Clear golden body with a nice white fizz that turns into a yeasty top. Aroma: Candy sugar, hops fruit and a little malty warmth. Taste: Nice medium carbonation. Quite dry and a little spicy. Very drinkable. A little alcohol in the finish. Nice sour once the fizz disappears. Pepper in the finish. Really good brew.

On tap at the Cheeky Monk in Denver. I’m not as sold on the Belgians as much as most, but I really liked Delirium on tap. Imports just have a bad taste that I find disagreable, it is not strong with this beer though. The aroma wasn’t much, but I caught some noble hops coming through. It tasted of bananas, slightly clovey, and a little sour (but not off-putting). Great to get on tap.

On Tap at Luka’s in Oakland. Pours with a clear light amber body and a dissapating lightly off-white head. Aroma is yeasty, with some spices and a bit of apple. Taste is yeasty and is quite sharp. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Over carbonated and a bit on the dry side.
