Commercial Description:
The masterpiece of the brewery. The beer that mostly encountered the favour among the customers at Le Baladin. Although one wouldn't believe that, it's the most alcoholic among all the productions. It originated from an old recipe created toward the end of the '800 following the style of the belgian abbey beers. Intense aroma of warm flowers, apricot and banana and hints of bitter almond. Agreeable, refreshing and quenching taste of apricot in syrup, almond cake and citrus fruits. Excellent the use of belgian selected hop during the fermentation process. This beer matches perfectly with ripen cheeses, biscuits and almond sweets.

Pours a transparent copper bronze with a nicely-lacing froth of light tan head. Aroma boasts some sweet pale malt and mild citrus with a touch of earthiness. Body starts fairly full and pale malty sweet with some doughy yeast and light tartness for balance hides the alcohol well. Decent complexity and very drinkable.

Bottle, 8%. Slightly farty aroma. Hazy red colour. Quite malty flavour, getting sour at the end. The sourness seems intentional. Quite harmonious, once some of the CO2 has been shaken out. Getting some dried fruits in the finish.

Gorgeous cloudy orange with a good white head. Heavy enough to leave some lacing. Nose of yoghurt and cider, definitely some lactic fermentation here. Mouth was just a little flat and heavy, with a tendency towards syrup. Taste sour cider, bread and yeast, deeper overall tone than the lighter Belgian tripel that I was expecting. A good Belgian Strong.

750 ml bottle. an unclear pale amber beer with a fine medium large head. The aroma is flowery and fruity (banana). The flavour is not overly sweet and has a nice hop touch in the finish. Also a very drinkable beer.

Cloudy dark-orange body topped by a little white ring. INFECTION. Drain pour. Some sour/acidity notes on the nose and in the taste. The oily vinegary salad dressing flavour crushes the underlying fruity notes. I got a bad bottle (bought at Half Time NY). Will retry and re-rate if offered a sample. What I could make up of it despite the infected taste didn’t seem interesting enough to justify buying another bottle. Crapper du Baladin.

Bottle. Poured hazy amber/orange color with a large frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate spicy fruity malty aroma. Light to medium body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable complex beer.

Pours an orange amber color and the semll is very reminiscent of a Belgian triple. Very nice citrus. Tastes of sweet fruit. I really liked this one. Second time I’ve had it. We just got it back in the store today actually at Knightly Spirits in Orlando.

Bottle: Pours a light orange/amber color. Smell is belgian yeasts mixed with fruit and spices. Flavor is reminiscent of many belgian tripels. I didnt detect any sourness as others have mentioned, so if brett is present, is very faint. Overall, not a bad beer.
