Delirium Tremens

Delirium Tremens
Belgian Strong Pale Ale
8.5 % ABV
Melle, Belgium
Named Best Beer in the World at 1998 World Beer Championships (Chicago, IL)
 Ranked Number One in.. 50 Greatest Beers in the World
 
Big bubbly head. Quite carbonated.
Smells like bananas and tropical fruit flavored bubblegum.
Tastes like bananas, apples, pears and  yeast.
A slight caramel taste is there but obviously less so than the darker beers.
I don't really dig the golden stuff much. I do not care for the Pale.
So this, like most of them just isn't my thing.
However it is definitely good and very flavorful.
Just not necessarily flavors I typically seek out.
Will re-visit in the future.

Best Fish Tacos in San Diego?



So stoked to live so close.
(Clairemont Mesa)
San Diego, California
La Playita
Pretty simple set up.
Everything you need, nothing that you don't.
That's my piece of fish frying up and waiting to be put in a tortilla.
Fish Tacos
Made to order, perfectly prepared. Lightly battered and well seasoned.
Real avocado, lettuce, creamy sauce. The fish is tender, flaky and tasty.
Definitely the best fish tacos I have had north of the border.
Absolutely the best in San Diego that I am aware of,
 and I am constantly on the hunt.
Lettuce, not cabbage. I prefer it.
Nothing fancy, just simple and tasty.
Perfectly fried to a nice crisp crust.
Inside flaky and tender. Delicious Fish Taco.
Gobernador Taco
Shrimp, cheese, grilled onion & peppers.
Lettuce & cream sauce.
Shrimp Ceviche Tostada
Fresh & tasty. With onion, cilantro, tomatoes & avocado.
