Purchased at Off License in Rome. Deep golden with a nice layered head. Not the most aromatic beer, it shows only some Belgian character, but the nose is a bit stiff. Flavor is well done, with hints of cinnamon and orange peel spice and a chewy dark Belgian character. It’s not a great ale, but an enjoyable beverage.

Jun 19, 2008 In short: A simplistic Belgian Ale. No complexity, way too much alcohol taste.
How: Bottle. Sample at Mondial de la Bière 2008
The look: Cloudy dirty orange body topped by a very small beige head
In long: Alcohol is very present on the nose and taste. Syrupy like a 15% beer, alcohol present like a 15% beer, carbonation is very soft, doughy yeast with a simplistic taste of citrus and apricots juice and alcohol, no hops presence. Overall sensation of some kind of “shooter”. I was anxious to try to new Baladin lineup and that Elixir cured my anxiousness.

Jun 11, 2008 Need a bucket to contain such a huge gushing head over a hazy brownish beer like that. Nose is very yeasty, with a slight scotch character, bit fruity and lot of caramel. Ends with an unpleasant alcoholic note.

Jun 8, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008Artebirra Pasturana 2008: Wiggs è matto a berla al mattino. Complessità notevole, presenza alcolica non predominante ma armoniosa e sentori molto fruttati... dai non me la ricordo così bene, la riassaggerò. Maledizione sono già le 10..._____l’ho riassaggiata stasera all’Irish: mi sento di riconfermarle il voto.
