| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2008 Bottle (750ml corked & caged). At 2nd Annual Summer Saison Tasting - beigaman’s bottle. Cloudy light orange pour, unremarkable white head (3+). Interesting aroma, spice, latex paint, apple, pineapple and pungent spruce. The taste is different yet again, lightly acidic, very spicy/yeasty, with a hint of burnt rye toast and no paint and hardly any spruce. Thick, still body, subtly astringent - has a quick finish, which was a bit of a let-down, since there was so much going on, it felt like the party ended way too suddenly - but no aftertaste to detract. Different, memorable - really good. garthicus (1308), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 11, 2008 My 2nd favorite out of the Baladin beers available to me at the time. This almost has a creamy tropical fruit nose, definitely exotic smelling with some mango, a bit of coconut, seasalt, grains of paradise, quite spicy on the palate, but well balanced, and has a nice zing of carbonation, with a wonderful creamy mouthfeel, this beer is truly a pleasure to drink.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2008 Murky amber with a frothy head that lingers. First whiff is roasty, nutty malts, then peaches and mangos. Light carbonation with a creamy smooth mouthfeel. Good flavors of bready pale malts with lightly sweet peach and mango. Lots of subtle spicy goodness here. Enjoyed this one. WeeHeavySD (3016), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
