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.

Trocken bitterer Start, der eher noch trockener wird. Nicht hefig, nicht hopfig, einfach nur trocken bitter. Schlecht. 12/6/4/4/9/5

Golden color, high carbonation with white head. Aroma has yeasty notes. Flavor is bittery, slightly citrus and good presence of begian yeast. Bittery final with medium duration and a uncompensated presence of alcohol.

Bottled 750ml. -at Brežice Beer Fest. Sample from the bottle. Clear golden coloured, small white head, discreet fruity nose. Sweet malty, alcoholic, hint of fruits and berries with notes of spices. No trace of strawberries, some late bitterness in the finish. Nothing special here.

Tap sample at Delirium Café Amsterdam. Clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma is light spicy, strong lager notes, acid, citrus. Flavour is bitter, herbal, light spicy, light fruity, firm bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied. A bit unbalanced.

Draft at Bavarian Lodge during Delirium glass food drive. Not having had a Delirium in a while, I’d forgotten that they can k kind of come in pale. Yellow body under a puffy head. Sweet malty smell. Taste is nice, but nothing to knock my socks off. I think there’s a bit more hop than in a traditional strong Belgian, so there’s that going for it.

Brežice Beer Fest, samples "stolen" from both Ogi and Hmeljita I guess (huge thanks!). Poured a golden body with a white head. Perfumey aroma, pears and whtie wine. Light, but OK. Taste... Pear again, if light, fizzy and overcarbonated mouthfeel, slightly dusty, sweetish and appley. Not flawed exactly, vaguely reminiscent of champagne, but too light and fizzy. OK all in all.

Bottle - Pale malts and fruity ester. Clear gold with a rich white bubbly head. Fruity, bitter and a bit sweet with a dry finish. Not bad and pretty refreshing considering the big abv.

cloudy pale yellow colour, extremely huge, long lasting white head;aroma of floral-honey-like notes, yeast, earthy notes and a bit too intensive alcohol;taste of bitterness, some fruity-citrussy notes, yeast and lot of alcohol - it would be much better if it was a bit more hidden...dry aftertaste - quite average belgian stron ale, I expected a bit more from this

750 mL bottle, as a birthday gift from Jennifer! Violent gusher that got beer all over the kitchen. What was left poured hazy yellow, with a big, bubbly white head. Aroma of apricots, caramel, hay, and coriander. Sweet farmhouse flavor, with a mild bitterness. Light to medium body, crisp, and a little astringent. Overall, this is a light, slightly fruity, and tasty beer.
