3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Eataly, Bologna
Hazy red-amber color, with generous but fizzy head. Delicate cinnamon aroma; for once, this is not the vulgar pungent cassia, but a true mix of granma cakes as promised; light cardamom too. The body is good, the mouthfeel is smooth, possibly dry; mild malt flavor, with very moderate sweetness and a delicate fruity and spicy touch. Correct bitterness for this beer, i.e. low.
Although not a fan of the style, if you look for a pumpkin beer, this is the one.

Ma proprio le baladin non riescono a convincermi... Il colore e’ molto bello arancione pulito, l’aroma debole il gusto poco pronunciato e duraturo, molto secca, lieve sentore di zucca, un peccato perche’ la zucca mi fa impazzire.... Ho altre 2 baladin, Wayan e open noir, le ultime 2 speranze per poter trovare una baladin degna di nota...

On tap at Open Baladin. Clear deep amber beer, little white head. Sweet malt with fresh sugary fruits and a touch of cinnamon. Semi dry finish. Interesting! I think only the Italians could make a beer like this.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
75cl bottle. Pours burnt orange with a medium white head. Aroma is malt and caramel, quite sweet, Some yeasty notes and spices, mostly clove. Taste is malty and buttery with a hints of pumpkin and a definite spiciness. Black pepper and clove above all. Some cinnamon too. Good carbonation, medium bodied. I hope this beer has more pumpkin to it when fresh. The spices, though, made this interesting anyways.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy opaque - murky really - orange with a small off-white head. Spicy peppery nose. Medium body, sweet caramel and spices - very interesting indeed because the pumpkin is not muddled by cinnamon making it very authentic. Subtle bitterness. Nice indeed. 251111
