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.

Bottle 750ml. @ home.
Clear sparkling with many tiny sized body particles, a medium orange color with a average to large, frothy to creamy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, spicy, coriander, sweet cinnamon, flowers, perfume, moderate to heavy peppery. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration, black pepper, sweet fruity flowers. Body is medium, texture is oily - smooth, carbonation is soft to lively. [20100111]

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 12, 2005
An unclear orange beer with a fast disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander standing out. The flavor is of wheat and oranges, while the body is thin.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 18, 2005
UPDATED: JUN 26, 2005 (Bottle 75 cl) I guess the word "coriandolo" from the the back-label means coriander, and Jesus does this wonderful spice shine through - apparently also together with camomile and bergamot. I also detect some wheat here. Very unfiltered with big, floating lumps of...whatever. To begin with the colur of this beer is golden, but if you pour the sediment also it changes to a muddy grey. The bouquet changes also from a refined fruitiness to something quite indefineable. The lesson must be: hesitate to empty this bottle completely. But still an excellent beer, and the first certified organic Italian beer. But a Saison? Nah, not really... 251204

Bottle, 5.8%. Good refreshing aroma, a bit of chalk. Cloudy yellow colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is nicely malty with good black pepper, some coriander. Other spices that I forgot. A little sweet and sugary.
