i bought this a month ago and when i opened it i was dissapointed to see it had spoiled or something, iv had it before so i know it shouldn be like this, can anyone tell me what happened to it. theres no date on the bottle, its delirium cherry beer (i know, i know )
Good question. I've gotten huge chunks/flakes in a lot of the Delirium * beers. I usually just strain them out and go about my business. Doesn't seem to affect the flavor any, and I haven't died (yet). Dope
I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as Delirium Cherry beer. I'm pretty sure what you have there is Delirium Noel, their Christmas/Winter offering, which is a strong dark Belgian ale. Delirium (bottled, at least, not so much on tap) is known for having massive amounts of flaky yeast sediment in them; I always try to keep as much as possible out of the glass, but sometimes it can't be helped. What YOU have is way extreme though, I'm not sure what's going on there. It seems the flakes get larger and chunkier as the beer gets older, but I've still never seen anything quite like that. Perhaps you got a really old bottle?
How did you store it? I wonder if it that could have made a difference. I don't know what that could possibly be.
seems iv made a bit of a blunder, what i bought was delirium noel, but what i had before was delirium red, when i poured the noel i was expecting a cherry flavoured red beer which it was not, which led me to believe it was spoiled and the chunks did not help. iv read the reviews here of what the noel should be like when i smelt and tasted it, it was very fruity and boozy more wine like, its a very yeasty beer but them chunks were huge maybe it was a bad batch or wrongly stored as i bought two of them and both were the same the place i bought them from seemed a bit dingy
god no thats the girlfriends ha ha anyway done a bit of researcher and seems like its just the type of yeast they use and its perfectly fine, in some places they even empty them into shot glasses and down them
I've had huge floaties in my Delirium Tremens..nevertheless. .it didn't make any difference. It was tasty like how.
The last Noel I had (3? years ago) was similar. Maybe not as chunky, but the yeast floaties were unbelievable. Even with a conservative pour they were swimming everywhere.
There is a cherry beer by Delirium, it's called Delirium Red but yes that beer is definitely the Noel, the xmas offering
