Pours cloudy,golden yellow with a nice off white coloured head. Nose shows mellow wit characters. Orange and lemon suported by wheat and spice notes. Palate is nice, fluffy and slightly sweet. Finishes with a good hit of yeast and hop spice and a slight wheat tang. A very pleasant drink, should have more than a 3.0 avg, but i suppose many find wit/hefe a little dull at times, me included!

Bottle sample at Beer Enthusiast Release Tasting, Bergen. Is unclear and a bit surprisingly dark straw color, and has almost no head. Have a wonderful spicy aroma of coriander, belgian yeast, sweet fruit, and some perfume towards alcohol. Good spiced and sweet flavours also, along with sweet fruit, melon, and a little bit of sweet berries that reminds me of cloudberries. Soft mouth feel and very low bitterness. A surprisingly sweet beer (almost on the edge), but nice spice notes along the way.

25cl. bottle from a local beer retailer. It pours a hazy golden-amber liquid with lots of yeast spots (some of them quite big) and a small white head that dissipates completely almost instantly and leaves no lacing at all. The aroma is very fruity, with a notable wheaty and yeasty character, along with some floral hoppiness. It leaves hints of apricot (mainly), along with some other fruits (grapes, pear), camomille and very mild spices. It tastes likewise, with some additional distant caramel touch. It is medium sweet, moderately bitter and a slight sour. In the mouth it feels softly carbonated, with oily texture a medium body and a quite dry finish, leaving an aftertaste of fruit, camomille and flowers. A new way to interpret Witbier by these italian geniuses. Not my favourite, but quite a nice and surprising brew. Presentation rocks, as always with Baladin.

Bottle (waaaaay past its use by date) -- Typical pale yellow of the style with a large white head with little retention but a fair bit of lacing and a lot of carbonation. Crisp sour aroma with a hint of coriander at the end. Palate is watery yet surprisingly round. Flavour reflects the aroma but with more obvious citrus and coriander. Not bad in small quantities by itself or in larger quantities with pizza, otherwise it would get a bit cloying. I’m not a big fan of Italian beers or this style, but this was a pleasant surprise. The beer is a hell of a lot better than the translation of the commercial description -- I tasted not a one Belgian root!

dorata e torbido con schiuma soffice e persistente. l’olfatto sente subito il coriandolo poi arancio, agrumato che si ritrova anche nel gusto, corpo leggero, birra fresca, estiva.

Fra flaske på Cardinal i møte med bryggeren selv, Teo Musso. Meget velduftende og lettdrilkelig, et supert sommerøl. " duften av Middelhavet" var målet med dette ølet iflg TM.

Pours a cloudy golden colour plenty of sediment. This has a floral fruity aroma and the taste has a good mixture of fruits and a very soft mouth feel lovely beer.

Elegantemente bianca e delicatamente raffinata con profumo intenso e fruttato con in rilievo camomilla e malva.Gusto equilibrato di albicocca, pero e fico e delle note piccanti con un finale leggero di luppolo. Piacevole da bere.

Come blanche appare subito un po’ più scura della media, anche al gusto risulta leggermente fuori stile. Molto limonosa e floreale, sa di pane e cereali.

Tap@ Open Baladin Nice spicy nose clean and mild. Citrusy nose and taste. Strong taste, citrusy lemony floral. A nice boby. A good beer!! The first ever tasted from Baladin. Good. But Teo the owner says he left the keg accidentally in the sun for a while!!!! (this guy’s got it wrong=)) Nice i’d have an other one
