Courtesy of Blazer06. Pours muddy copper with tan head. The aroma is pretty full and rich with spices, earthiness and some modest dark fruity esters. Pretty smooth and inviting. The taste is similar with smooth and rich notes starting somewhat musty with sweet malts and blended dark fruitiness of cherries and plums. Those notes are rounded out toward the finish with a pleasing earthiness adding more depth and interest to the experience.

come tutte le baladin una birra particolare e sicuramente interessante. mi aspettavo qualche cosa di più dalla schiuma e dall’aspetto in generale sul quale secondo me si può ancora lavorare

RBWG 2010. Pours cloudy dark golden color with off white head. Aroma of over ripe fruits. Flavors of fruit and bread dough. Medium body with lively carbonation.

Bottled 750ml. -Nice clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, slight acidic fruity nose (something between peach and pineapple). Moderate sweet malty, quite alcoholic and spicy with notes of fruits and caramel. Peppery alcoholic finish. Had better Baladin beers.

On tap at Paradiso as Al-iksir. Tastes like pineapple juice. Pours super hazy deep orange no head. Maraschino cherry nose. Grenadine syrup in the nose. Taste has some light sourness and dried light fruits.

thanks to blazer for the share. A: Pours a hazy orange hue with a big puffy white head that does manage some lace. S: Aromas of sweet summer fruit like pears and apples. Hints of spice and yeast. T: Candy like malt sweetness, summer fruit, and spice. Light floral notes as well. M: Medium in body smooth. D: Pretty good. The italian beers are pretty expensive some are worth the money some are not. I have the feeling is one may be in the are not category.

On tap. Sweet aroma with plum, raisin, brown sugar, and dates. Amber-copper clear with no head. Medium bodywith medium carbonation, not quite thick and almost silky. Starts sweet with alcohol, vanilla, plum, and brown sugar. Estery with some fusel notes. Warming finish with a little bit of hop bitterness and some neutrl fruit. Mellow sweet after.

On tap at Churchill’s Renaissance. $5/4oz...ahh the price of Italian beers. Actually 4oz was probably too much, considering I wasn’t a big fan of it. It wasn’t bad or anything. Yellow amber color. No head. Green apple taste/aroma. Lightly sweet.
