Description
For Teo Musso, beer is passion, an intense love for taste and certainly a form of expression. Through his recipes, he has communicated special moments in his life, sides of his being and his constant search for the perfect sensory balance.

In 1986 Le Baladin pub opens in Piozzo (Cuneo). Ten years after Le Baladin becomes a brewpub where beer is produced and directly sold. Blonde and Ambrée (both in filtered and non filtered versions) are the first draught beers produced by Baladin.

(Draught at Baladin Camden, London, 29 May 2025) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, pineapple and peaches. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, peaches, white bread and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Barwa złota, opalizujące, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie słodowe, nieznaczny chmiel.

W smaku słodowe, półwytrawne, słodowość w typie zbożowym, jasnego pieczywa, do tego pewna kontra od chmielu w typie trawiasto-ziołowym.

Goryczka niska, wysycenie i ciało w normie.

Mocno przeciętnie, brakuje intensywniejszych doznań chmielowych. Smakuje bardziej jak nieco mocniej nachmielony lager.

Poured from 375mL bottle (from the fiulijnator cellar; lot 2064; likely 2009 vintage). Clear auburn brown with no head. Herbal wood upfront with feint sherry vinegar notes underneath, mild prunes and toffee in the background. Touch of oxidation. Nice sipper.

2/VI/25 - on tap @ Baladin (Rome, IT), BB: n/a (2025-505)

Clear orange gold beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: a bit malty, some citrus notes, some tropical fruits, but rather faint. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, a bit grassy, pretty bitter, rather oxidized, very underwhelming. Aftertaste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, bitter finish, more oxidation, almonds, sweet malts, bleh, very disappointing. This is a really bad IPA, this has nothing to do with current modern IPA brewing. It tastes like a bitter blond beer, and an oxidized one for that matter. It’s a disgrace that at their own venue the beer is spoiled, and yet they still serve it. Shame on you Baladin.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy golden amber pour with a thick cream head and moderate carbonation; fresh aroma of lemon and pine; sweet, flabby malt body with a fresh zesty lemony bitterness from start to finish. Really pleasant to drink but lacking in depth.

330m ml bottle. Pours a dull amber with light head. Aromas of floral Belgian yeast, citrus and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same with citrus more pronounce plus additional coriander like spice. Very nice.

Backlog October 2013. Clear golden body under a small, fast disappearing white head. Aroma is quite fruity with some spicy Belgian yeast. Taste is rather sweet but smooth malt, hint of toffee, slightly fruity and spicy with low bitterness. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste.

330ml can from Beer52. Clear dark gold with white head, spotted retention. Aroma of overripe citrus, grapefruit, melon, flora and malt. Taste is quite cereal noted with some herbs, citrus and melon. Semi-drying, medium bodied, some resinous bitterness. It's OK but a touch flabby.
