Forcina (45) - Bellinzona, Rome, Brussels, SWITZERLAND - NOV 7, 2010
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2011 Fantastica birra, ottimo aroma maltato, molto frizzante in bocca, dolce ma non stucchevole. Una birra da pasto, si abbina praticamente con tutto come uno champagne.

ReAle (120) - Rome, ITALY - JAN 15, 2011
UPDATED: MAR 8, 2011 Birra unica, particolarissima e assolutamente spiazzante. Immaginate una Bommen&Granaten con meno corpo, meno alcool ma più carbonata. Il paragone con un barleywine non tragga in inganno, si tratta di una belgian ale (molto, molto strong!) a tutti gli effetti, ma "un po’ puttana", come la definisce Teo. A metà tra birra e champagne (le bollicine si sentono), ma dolcissima, un vero e proprio nettare, un elisir. Colore ambrato intensissimo, schiuma prorompente ma assai poco persistente. Aroma intensissimo, da orgasmo puro. In bocca dolce, intensa, senza alcun retrogusto amaro, ma assolutamente ben bilanciata. Provate ad assaggiarla in compagnia di un cioccolato fondente e ne percepirete venature acidule e anche lievemente amarognole. Secca, asciutta e rinfrescante, sufficientemente beverina. E’ birra da meditazione, ma anche da pasto, abbinabile praticamente con tutto. Assaggiatela senza pregiudizi: vi stupirà!

Furseth (1612) - Kungälv, SWEDEN - JUL 27, 2009
Bottle: Hazy red sparkling colour, creamy big head. Aroma of citrus, fruits, some yeasty nots too in the end. Flavor is viny, fruity, mouth feeling, lots of citrus and a nice medium to long, fruity/alcy/Yeasty balnced finish. This is a nice complex belgian ale!

KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 8, 2007
Liely carbonation, a long lasting rocky head over a cloudy golden beer. Smells of Belgian style yeast and a whiff of barnyard. A rich, spicy, malty brew. Ginger, cinnamon, a peppery/ruccola aroma. Some burned sugar bitterness, port-like voertoens. Warming alcohol. A truly splendid beer.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 24, 2006
Bottled. Muddy amber, very lively aroma. Orangery, peachy, almondy nose. Sweet and very soft. Gently malty but exploding with flavours. Orangey finish. The combination of a delicate, soft malt character and an intricate yeast character makes this an outstandingly complex beer.

Christian (8043) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 25, 2009
Hazy orange with a lasting white head. Aroma of pineapple, honey, citrus, malt and almond. Vineous fruity flavour, wooden notes, and slightly tart. Complex yeasty finish.

saxo (7442) - Højbjerg, Aarhus, DENMARK - NOV 27, 2008
Bottle. Torben Matthews tasting. Nice head with excellent duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich fruits, malt and sugar. Quite vinous.

diabbolo (2) - Varallo Sesia, ITALY - NOV 1, 2007 does not count
my preferred le baladin beer. Its particular very sparkling feature make it really singular. fruity taste, not too much sweet. you can’t feel the alchol when you drink it
