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.

Aroma is spicy, with notes of fruit and must. Pours a cloudy golden with fluffy white head, that dissipates moderately. Tangy to the tongue at first, it evolves into a bitter and then clean finish. Notes of apples (granny smith) and banana. Notes of honey too.

Bottle 09.12.15: Golden and clear in color with some yeast particles floating around. Rocky head. High carbonation. This one is fruity. The spice bouquet is typical of Belgian brew: cloves.... It has a med body finish is bitter and short. A very decent beer and must drink during the Christmas holidays.

12oz bottle from Brewer’s Art, courtesy of my friend on his 21st birthday (he bought 6 of these at $9 a piece...) Pours gold/orange with nice white head. Aroma of citrusy fruits, nice spices. Taste: fruity with some caramel, yeast, and a little bitterness on the end. Finally tried this beer, and was pleasantly surprised.

Golden-orange beer with nice white head. Aroma of fruit, spices, cake and some alcohol sweetness. Taste is soft with fruity hints and touches of butter-caramel, yeast and some hop-bitters in the end.

Bottle pours orange gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is extremely yeasty with a background of granny smith apples, pineapple, honey, and what seems like lavender. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of pear, bread, and white pepper. Overall body is moderate and creamy with high carbonation.

750mL bottle. Rich, golden yellow in color with hints of yeast in the settling of the pour. Very ripe to the taste with a deliciously smooth aftertaste. This was my first time trying it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
