75 cl bottle, 5.90€, 7.5%. Unclear yellow to orange color, massive white head, creamy. Strong smell, with candy fruit, american hops. Aroma is malty with yellow fruit, candy fruit, and a load of american flowery hops, spices and orange peel. Taste is well structured, with syrupy sweetness and intense hops bittering. Medium to full body, proper carbonation. Overall reminding a tripel, such as Chimay Cinq Cents mixed with an IPA. Very good, fresh, crisp.

Another of the Belgian-inspired Baladin ales, with a thick, cream white, sticky head and misty orange blonde colour. Aroma of orange peel, caramel, aniseed, honey; refreshing fruity taste with citrus peel effect, ’crispy’ mouthfeel thanks to the high carbonation which seems Duvel-inspired, finishing in a gentle, grassy hop bitterishness.

Bottle, 0.33l at PirFest Slovenija in 2010. Cloudy amber orange color with small creamy off-white head and good lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, mainly citrus, caramel and yeast. Taste starts with moderate sweet caramel and honey, follows by fruity and herbal acidity, spicy mouthfeel, while finish is moderate bitter. Full body, thick and smooth texture with average natural carbonation in palate. When you open Baladin Open, it doesn’t last long...

Bottle from Eataly, Florence. Murky bronze body with a fluffy with head. Lively carbonation. Great lacing. Aroma of green hops, honey and lemon. Flavour of Lockets, grass and lime. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice fizz. A strong, hoppy APA. A bit too sweet and boozy for my liking, but very tasty nonetheless.

Bottle at the GJBF Osaka 2013. A golden amber color, very slight head. Much milder aroma, kind of like a golden ale with more malt to it. The taste was more on the fruity side with some woodsy qualities to it. I didn’t get any kind of APA vibe from it but I liked it.

250ml bottle. cloudy orange pour, lace. Dry, grassy, nose, minerals, something close to an infection but here I think it is intended, dry peach and orange. Sweet stone fruits big up front, peach, orange, melon. then it dries out a bit, more citrus, more hops. Still very estery and like opening a can of peaches. Body is full and silky. This is a Belgian yeast beer if I ever had one. The style is completely wrong. A fun beer, not perfect, but likeable and very unique. Bottled. 6/3/7/3/14= 3.3 Funky, estery nose, nice citrus hops. flavor is estery, rich malt, orange, booze. The yeast character is a bit strange and overbearing.
