COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients (barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops and many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a "Saison" but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma and palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance and bitterness is by a high defree provided by those many spices some of which are very, very unusual in brewing. This quite unusual combination of spices and herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from "regular" saison-style ales. Food pairings: Fish, salmon, salads, filet mignon and other steaks, Thai food.

Bottled 75cl. It pours a hazy yellow beer with a quick diminishing white head. The aroma is of grapefruit, coriander, pineapple with quite a lot of citrussy elements; A pleasant nose. A rather sour taste. Light bodied. The alcohol is well hidden. Lots of orange and lemon in the flavor too. Spicy and peppery. the finish is dry with hints of lemon.

Palidor19 (2296) - Brandon, Florida, USA - JUL 31, 2007
The malts that make up both the aroma and the palate are pretty thin. Its does have some spiciness with pepper and cloves. A fizzy body but over all, decent.

The aroma is citrusy, spicy and yeasty. The appearance is golden with some haze and particles. The flavor is like the aroma and light. The palate is light also. The finish is peppery. Overall a good beer and the more I drink the more I like it.
