Bottle. Pours an unclear amber beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness, yeast and some flowers. The flavor follows the nose with some additional flowers and honey. The palate is sweet. Overall a good beer.

Bevuta in bottiglia da 75 comprata in via Cesarea a 9 €. Tantissima schiuma, profumo erbaceo, sapore corposo e alcolico, leggermente rugginoso, di miele non c’era traccia... non mi è piaciuta molto, Baladin di solito ha altri standard ben più alti. Residui solidi sul collo della bottiglia mi fanno pensare che forse era ossidata; la riproverò, se la paga qualcun altro :)

Cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with orange peel. Mineral-like touch. Sweet honey flavour with bees wax notes

Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, spices, pepper and orange peal. Flavour is malt, alcohol, sweet, orange peal, spicy and pepper.

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, April 2010. Pours unclear orange with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is sweet, yeasty and fruity. Orange and some spices. Flavor is clove, yeast and honey. Warmth. Not a Baladin Favorite. Thats for sure

Hazy golden orange with a big off-white head. Some lacings. The smell is wheaty and kind of sharp with notes of white bread, spices and gentle honey notes. Nothing spectacular, but quite enjoyable. The taste is rather sweet with a prominent somewhat tangy wheaty character. Notes of bread, spices, yeast and honey. A mild tart note in the middle. The finish is dry with notes of fruit and honey. You can detect the alcohol, but considering that this one weighs in at 9%, it very well hidden. Medium to moderate body, quite a lot of carbonation. A decent beer. Thankfully, the honey notes are well integrated and not too overpowering. Quite refreshing. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

train rating. 750ml bottle, bottle-conditioned, gushed (anticipated so it was opened over a toilet!). heavy cloudiness, dark orange/toast colored body, dirty speckled tan head. zesty and hearty honey in the nose along with some clove or similar spices. plenty of unfermented sugars left in this one - honey is heavy and dense. yeast is zesty and prickly, belgian in nature. overall and interesting and unique beer as is the M.O. with baladin, but doesn’t wow me that much.

Dégusté au mondial avec french tickler. Bière de couleur miel brumeux avec un mince collet collant. Arômes de bananes, citron, houblon, miel et sel. Gout de miel, poivre, raisins et sucre.
