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.

My 2nd favorite out of the Baladin beers available to me at the time. This almost has a creamy tropical fruit nose, definitely exotic smelling with some mango, a bit of coconut, seasalt, grains of paradise, quite spicy on the palate, but well balanced, and has a nice zing of carbonation, with a wonderful creamy mouthfeel, this beer is truly a pleasure to drink.

Big ol’ bouteille. Furit citrus yeast with large head that diminishes as the bottle sits there. Light, fruity, spicy and delicious.

[1384-20080524] 1pt9.4floz bottle. Initially a nice light fruity citrus yeast aroma, after swirling produces some notes of oil paints. Lightly hazy, yellow brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head and lots of big floaties. Fruity yeast flavour has a bit of light Belgian yeast and citrus malt. Medium body has a nice sour tang. Refreshing, could be better carbonated.

Bottle Pours out a cloudy gold topped with a white head. Aroma of sweet fruit and flowers. Tast very juice sweet with all kinds of sweet fruit. A little spice. A very nice brew.

Hazy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is perfumed fruit, floral, light sweetness. Flavor is also lightly fruity, almost a touch of strawberries or raspberries, hints of honey, possibly some coriander, but very very little. An extremely well made and well balanced saison. Reminds me of fields of hay in the summer.

Bottled sample. Golden in colour with moderate spritzy carbonation. The aroma is a mix of apple juice with a bit of orange, which wasn’t so appealing. However, the flavor was much better with elements of pale malt, fruity Belgian yeast, violets, toasted marshmallow, orange, grasses, and some earthy herbs. Just off dry in the mouth. It’s a shame about the off-nose, as it was pretty good otherwise.
