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.

08-APR-2011, bottle @Sonni, @Ulkløbben tasting, from "Fish & Beer". Light yellow, low white head. Nose is yeasty and wheat-like. Citric, lemony, quite spicey and complex with herbs and honey. Fine wheat. Not a Saison, right? And not the best weat, though.

RichardGretton (3711) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - MAR 30, 2011
Bottle. Golden beer with quite an active body and light, fizzy and soon disappearing head. The aroma is malty fruity yeastiness, and the flavour is heavily yeasty with a sugary malty finish. Overall a reasonable sweetish yeasty beer.
