Commercial Description:
Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients (barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops and many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a "Saison" but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma and palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance and bitterness is by a high defree provided by those many spices some of which are very, very unusual in brewing. This quite unusual combination of spices and herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from "regular" saison-style ales. Food pairings: Fish, salmon, salads, filet mignon and other steaks, Thai food.

An unclear orange beer with a fast disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander standing out. The flavor is of wheat and oranges, while the body is thin.

(Bottle 75 cl) I guess the word "coriandolo" from the the back-label means coriander, and Jesus does this wonderful spice shine through - apparently also together with camomile and bergamot. I also detect some wheat here. Very unfiltered with big, floating lumps of...whatever. To begin with the colur of this beer is golden, but if you pour the sediment also it changes to a muddy grey. The bouquet changes also from a refined fruitiness to something quite indefineable. The lesson must be: hesitate to empty this bottle completely. But still an excellent beer, and the first certified organic Italian beer. But a Saison? Nah, not really... 251204

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is mild spiced, caramel/biscuit and light yeasty fruity. Spiced to floral flavoured with a mild sweetness and vague yeast touch. Floral from back of the nose into the finish. Medium dry to slight sweet finish.

Golden coloured. Light bodied. Very lively, spicy and complex. A good, true to style saison.

Cloudy golden color. Fruity aroma (peach, apricots…), white sugar. Dry, a bit fruity; average malt. A light fruitness still in the final. A very average beer.

Bottle @ You Never Walk Alone, Kolding. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a nice good lasting off-white head. Sweet and fruity aroma with oranges and bits of spices. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is dry, bitter and fruity with spices, herbs and some sweetness. Good dry fruity bit spiced bitter finish. Tasty brew indeed.
