Baladin Wayan
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.

Ottimo gusto e retrogusto, molto dissetante.
Spumanteggiante e leggermente ‘erbosa’, buona, ma non la mia preferita
330 ml bottle. Pours hazy golden with little off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pepper and bready notes. The flavor is pretty spicy with lots of pepper, orange zest, bergamot and wheat.
Aromi di spezie e erbe aromatiche. Color beige opaco. In bocca prevale il grano, il malto e gli altri cereali impiegati, le spezie emergono sul finale. Una bevuta piacevole anche se mi aspettavo un'esplosione di sapori più variegata
Odd saison, but as a texture and sweetness of a belgian style, quite savoury.
Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 20.01.20. Translucent pale straw colour. Some white head. Aroma and taste of wit bier, coriander, lemongrass and citrus. Hints of white pepper and chili in aftertaste.
Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy golden with little off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pepper, phenolic and bready notes. Tastes slightly sweet with little bitterness. Thin to medium bodied, warm mouthfeel.
Oljenkeltainen lasissa. Tuoksussa on banaania, appelsiinia, viljaisuutta ja karamellisuutta. Suutuntuma on aika ohut ja hieman vetinen. Mausta löytyy edelleen banaania ja karamellista makeutta. Myös yrttistä mausteisuutta. Vähän sekava soppa.
0,75 litre Bottle from Taxfree store at Billund AirPort. Golden with little white head. Malts, hops, Wheat, herbs, spices, some sweetness.
Bevuta in bottiglia. Buoni aromi spezie. Non molto forte. Forse manca un po' di corpo. Comunque particolare.
Saison ok, abbastanza dolce, malto cereali, lievito contenuto, abbastanza speziata.

Hazy yellow color, small foam size. Weak citrus aroma, taste with strong spicy notes. not bad.
On tap @ Open Baladin, Torino, Italy.
Hazy golden-to-orange body with an average-to-large, frothy, white head, mostly diminishing with some lacing, though.
Moderate hoppy (citrus, flowers) and light malty (caramel) aroma with notes of spices (coriander in particular) and pepper (heavy note); also some fruity notes can be felt.
Moderate sweet and bitter flavour; average-lasting sweet finish with peppery notes.
Light-to-medium body with watery-to-oily texture; soft carbonation.

Light, soft palate. Some yeast, a little spice and a little bit sweet.
Prosty mocno nagazowany saison, bardziej przyprawowy niż owocowy. Z bardzo fajna nuta pieprzu.
(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of white peppercorns, grape juice, dried fruit, orange peel, white bread, flowers and a touch of yeast. Fruity, spicy taste with white bread, grapes, white pepper, dried fruit, orange peel, herbs and a spicy finish with fairly low bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty, quite herbal and spicy. Nice one.
Bottle 33 cl. Orange, hazy with a white head. Aroma of fruits, orange with a juicy sense. Bittersweet with a orange fruit and some spices end.

33cl bottle in a Frecciabianca train, in Italy. Pours hazy dark blonde with minimal white foam. Aroma is partially malty, sour vegetables, some candy feeling. Body is fairly dense with good carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet, with a notable spiciness (pepper) that lasts very long. Low bitterness, some delicate sour. Finish, as mentioned, is very long with spiciness.
Giallo scarico ed opalescente, schiuma bianca a grana fine e dalla facile evanescenza. Odore speziato, cereali, malto e agrumi. In bocca frizzante (troppo) e poco corpo. Gusto dolce maltato, spezie ed agrumi e finale sempre speziato e un pochino pepato. Tutto molto blando.
Fruit leather in the nose, resembles caramel, some spice. Flavor is quite jammy, closer to dark stone fruit than normal saison. Nicely light on the palate though and dry on the finish which keeps it from being too cloying.
Das Bier kann man schon mit einigen Tags versehen: Kandiszucker, Emmer, Roggen und das russische und ukrainische Grundnahrungsmittel Gretschka (Buchweizen ).
Also es ist verdammt getreidig. Das gibt eine wundervolle Aromenvielfalt, nur der Hopfen kommt nicht mehr durch.
Bottle from Hankyu Oasis Senriyama supermarket. Malty nose, with wheat, spice, citrus peel, lots of yeats, and something like peppery rye. Hazy honey blond color, with little head. Light syrupy fruitiness, ginger, citrus, and a mild sweetish finish. Thin-medium body. Contains 17 ingredients. Lots going on. Probably too much. Not really crisp or refreshing at all.
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per lo speziato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma non è molto persistente. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido è di aspetto trasparente. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato arrivano note di miele, frutta secca, arrostito, agrumi, spezie e pepe.

330ml bottle
