shigadeyo (1500), Southwest Ohio Area, Alabama, USA Jul 10, 2008 <br /><b>7/08/2008</b>: Delierium Tremens is an excellent beer. It is strong and flavorful, yet delicate and complex. There is a wonderful interaction of dry, slightly fruity maltiness, some clove and bubblegum in the middle, and then a dry finish with a touch of bitterness. The alcohol content is well hidden, yet the body isn’t really that thick or anything. Overall this wonderful balance of flavor and characteristics that makes this beer very good and quite enjoyable.<br /><br />

JonnyDr (128), , South Yorkshire, England Nov 30, 2008 Pale yellow appearance with small white head. Fruity aroma. Sweet start with peaches leading to butterscotch and cherries with a dry and slightly bitter finish. Light mouthfeel. Decent. DerBiermeister (384), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Nov 29, 2008 Aroma is nice, but its appearance is a watery golden. Its flavor is slightly malty, but mainly yeasty. Its flavor is not thick or complex enough for my taste, and its palate - well, the same. Overall impression is that this beer is overrated and overpriced. Disappointing. Hazmatt (360), Virginia, USA Nov 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a crystal, golden color which clouds as the settled yeast is poured. Huge, billowy head. A fruity light aroma with hints of grape. A slight medicinal aroma is present. Flavor was good, strong, yeasty, fruity. Medium bodied and mildly refreshing, this was a solid beer which put me to sleep quickly. I think Thanksgiving dinner had a lot to do with it. RIXbeer (102), USA Nov 28, 2008 Pours a golden yellow [much like a Miller Lite but] with a good 2.5 finger head. Very active carbonation dances as the head slowly fade leaving behind a nice coating of sud. Smells of Belgium. No really I truly believe that either the yeast or water makes belgian beers have that very pleasant aroma. There is a nice yeasty fruit mixed in the nose. Apricot or even peach. This beer once created as a brewery gimmick for their Italian market. A much more noticeable fruit flavor than aroma. Spices bouncing happily with peach and pear flavors that seem to change and engage the drinker with each sip. A very light and pleasant mouthfeel. Drink up! this one is a keeper! AlabastorJones (634), San Francisco, California, USA Nov 27, 2008 apple cider banana ester nose, pale gold unfiltered fog, frothy white head lots of lace, sweet pear and apple, bright fruit, alcohol present, wild esters all over the place, sort of an off flavor something metallic is in there somewhere - might be part of the alcohol’s flavor, beer candy for sure
