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.

Harsebrau (227) - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - MAR 3, 2010

I like this. I need to remember this for the warmer months. It is pale gold, clear and sparkling. A wispy white head prevails. The aroma is a mixture of some of those fancy, boutique soaps with faint grass and even fainter citrus. Flavors are light and it is crisp in the mouth. Light maltiness and a combo of spices. It warms well. It is easy to drink.
