Baladin Open

From tap in milan, yellowish liquid with a huge white head, aroma of malt, herbs, vanilla and cheesy notes, flavor is bitter-sweet with some marmalade, lavender and a pleasant bitter finish, medium body, nice brew.

75cl bottle. Unfiltered hazed honey colored body with a fine-bubbled off-white head. Nose of pineapple cake from the tropical/citrus hops and the cake-like bready malts, awesome. Unique and new, this beer like most Baladin does not fit in with any defined style, but is something new and interesting and stands alone. I am quickly falling in love with Baladin who has rejuvenated my once-stagnant interest in artisan beer thanks to their perfectly executed experimental recipes. The yeast character and structure of this beer are divine. Lovely throughout.

Bottle 75cl.

Cloudy blond coloir. Vry nice hop aroma, fruity but also harmonious, with oranges and flowers. The body is less malty than expected, nevertheless the mouthfeel is smooth, and it has a good hopping. A well balanced IPA.

Cloudy deep blond color; medium creamy head. The aroma is quite light, less than expected, with some oranges. Good smooth mouthfeel, dryish toffee flavor with a strong bitterness, partially fruity (oranges and grapefruit); the flavors are well mixed together. Solid.
