Delirium Tremens, the slightly bitter blonde

A while ago I spoke about the fantastic pub in Brugge called t' Brugs Beertje. I mentioned that one of the super beers availabe was the Delirium Nocturnum. I've been in touch with Delirium and they've given me what they feel is a great beer recipe. Preferably done with a blonde beer, but any good quality ale will do.
