A pale blonde colour and fine creamy-white head which clings to the glass.
The aroma is very balanced with a fruity, flowery background and an initial Chardonnay impression which evolves into a spicy, mild aroma of hops. A pleasant sparkling carbonate content produces a soft, full taste perception. The taste is very full-bodied and is balanced with fruity tones of apple and Chardonnay grapes. Deliria has a fine, mild bitterness in its aftertaste and a splendid, round feel in the mouth which evolves well.

Special beer brewed once a year to mark International Women's Day.

16oz can. Pale yellow tan body, Steady white head. Sweet, strong. Mild fruity hop tone sort of interplays with the yeast. Not a lot to hide behind, this drinks rather full bodied and alcohol forward. Drinkable, but nothing stupendous.

12 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has moderate esters, plenty of floral notes, candi sugar, bubblegum, and some doughy malt. Flavour is reasonably cohesive, with plenty of spicy Belgian yeast, moderate esters, bubblegum some candi sugar, light-to-moderate alcohol, and doughy malt. Clearly not at the level of the finer Belgian strongs out there, but it’s also competently brewed, with a reasonable expression of the Belgian yeast. There's still too much bubblegum and estery character though. Pleasant but nothing more.

Aroma of malts, grass, citrus, Huyghe yeast, soap, some spices and hops. Flavour is yeasty, fruity, malty sweetness. A bit watery and metallic. Alchohol is hidden fairly well. I’m a fan of the Delirium beers, but I was not that impressed with this one.

750ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Vinous fruity and slightly spicy, pale malty aroma, hints of white grapes, some gooseberry, a touch of marzipan. Taste is dry, pale malty and vinous fruity, minimally floral hoppy, hints of marzipan, white grapes, gooseberry; increase of sweetness and predomination of the marzipan in the last third. Watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Brut Blonde in a way, slight prosecco touch - OK.

Unexpectedly fruity; notes of white grape, apple, and a hint of citrus give it a fruit punch vibe, while the crisp carbonation gives way to a mildly sweet finish, followed by a floral streak and ample booze in the fade. Enjoyable, if hot.

Bottle from the Bottle Shop in Bruges. Pours a mildly cloudy blonde. Mild straw malt but with a bit of a bite, mildly sweet esters with vauge citrus, some light grape notes. Lingering bitterness with malt on the back of the tongue. Feels a little thin.
