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.

Dickinsonbeer (5076) - Hoboken, USA - JUN 6, 2010
Bottle at Mondial. Pours a slight haze with ok thin lasting head. Aroma is lemongrass, zesty citrus peel, soapy, light earthy phenolics, doughy, wheat malts, spicy pepper notes with some clove. Flavor is earthy, wheat, doughy malts, a bit sharp in the middle and the end- more lemongrass, spices, some wheat, and a lemon tartness towards the end as well which kind of makes it somewhat refreshing. Not bad and spices were kept mostly in check.

Kosmokrator (48) - Legnano, ITALY - MAY 15, 2012
In bottiglia. Color giallo torbido con sottile schiuma bianca. Aroma floreale con forti note di lievito e più lievi sentori erbacei. Gusto medio-dolciastro e acidulo con un finale più spostato verso l’amaro; il sapore è leggerissimamente speziato. Birra di corpo molto lieve e leggermente effervescente, fresca e "pulita" al palato.

Leighton (4091) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 22, 2012
Bottle at the Beer, Bocce and Boozer Tasting, London. I got this beaut at Kikko in Parma. She pours hazy gold with a fine, white foam head. Doughy-yeasty-fruity nose, light citrus, faint lemon. Medium to strong sweet flavor with lots of juicy orange and wheaty yeast, along with white sugar. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet, doughy finish with zesty citrus and yeast. A very drinkable - if sweet - saison. Good stuff.

Scopey (1659) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 16, 2012
Bottle, thanks to Leighton at his Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting. It pours hazy golden yellow, with a decent white head. The nose is sweet malt, orange, tinned peach and a hint of spice. The taste is mostly sweet fruit: melon, nectarine, orange, pear and banana, as well as straw, hay and a little spice. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Easy drinking.
