Pretty clear yellowish blond beer, creamy dense white head, very stable, adhesive, patches of foam clinging to the side of the glass. Aroma: floral start, some tropical fruits, sweet impression, some apricot jam. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet, fruity, gentle bitterness, quite some citrus, a bit grassy. Aftertaste: quite refreshing, some tropical fruits, citrus notes, a bit soapy, piny hops, decent but overall too sweet to my liking.

Clear amber to dark orange beer, creamy dense off-white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: very sweet impression, caramel, sweet malts, strawberry jam, oxidized, smells like quite an old pale ale to me. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very malty, pretty sweet, some caramel, sugary, a hint of strawberry jam, gentle bitterness. Aftertaste: malty, gentle bitterness, a little fruity, hint of citrus, some tropical fruits, pretty weak and watery, very disappointing. Again, just like last month when I was in Rome, Baladin again serves me an old (I)PA.

Un arco olfattivo dominato dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto opalescente. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi e spezie.

330ml can via Beer52, poured into my huge Judas glass at home on 26th June 2025. Bright amber body, white crown. Fruity nose and initial taste, tropical feel throughout. Nice easy going blend of hops and malts, liked it.

(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.

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.
