Sep 10, 2007 Super du Baladin Reserve 2003, 4 years old
Cloudy orange to light amber color. The aroma is spicy, peppery, with a very light sourness. The body is thinner than expected, with some malt flavor, residual sweetness and pepper spicyness, but also a light sourness that I wonder how much desired it was… Quite fresh for a beer of 4 years ago. The result is a beer of some average complexity, refreshing, but not exceptional.
