Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of fruits and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of liquorice, and medium notes of fruits and hops, leading to a dry liquorice-like finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a hazy - almost opaque - amber with a creamy white head leaving some lacework. Sweetish fruity nose. Medium body, fruity, sweetish licorice flavours that keep on growing. Very subdued bitterness. Interesting and pleasant. 200412

Bottle from Eataly, Milan
Hazy deep blond color, with high carbonation and creamy head. The aroma is mild, nothing special. The flavor is very smooth; there is a quite good Ale, with a clear presence of liquorice root, well blended together, better than I would have expected, soft; medium sweetness too.
Interesting.

No, no ,no, non ci siamo. anche questa baladin mi ha deluso. se gia’ la open non l’avevo apprezzata, questa e’ ancora peggio... Peccato perche’ con l’aggiunta della liquerizia, che per altro si sente, pensavo migliorasse, invece no. Aroma poco intenso ma liquerizioso, si presenta bene invece, colore paglierino tendente ambra, buona schiuma abbastanza persistente. Sapore di ipa oquantomeno di open non pervenuto, si sente la liquerizia, sembra di bere un’intruglio acqoso che sa leggermente di liquerizia, secca, molto secca, retrogusto inesitente. Con le birre di sto birrificio, ho chiuso....

On tap at Open Baladin. Clear amber beer, little white head. Softish palate with fine carbonation. Sweetish malt with some left of centre things going on - like licorice! Maybe a trace of citrus. Finishes smooth and little malty. Interesting! (Didn’t know at the time of drinking this had licorice in it!)

Tap at Open Baladin, Roma. On the beer list as "Openoir". IPA? Pours dark brown with a creamy light tan head. Mildly sour aroma (very, very mild). Med body. Flavor is roast malt with mild grapey sour. Light hop in the finish. Lovely beer.

Bevuta a Rimini, versione della Open con aggiunta di liquirizia. Non piacendomi particolarmente tale pianta e il suo estratto, preferisco la Open originale.
