Day 260: Rayon Vert

Name: Rayon Vert

Brewer: Green Flash Brewing Co. (San Diego, CA)

Classification: Belgian Pale Ale

Alcohol: 7%

Thoughts: Yesterday I mentioned the changing of the season and how we get plenty of seasonal beers brewed just during the spring. This is not one of them, but it could be because of its lightness, crispness and all around sunshine-like qualities. Rayon Vert is another amazing beer from Green Flash. They make nothing but amazing beers and I can only think of a couple other breweries that maintain the quality of beer that Green Flash can. This Belgian Pale Ale pours a glowing, radiant copper with a thick, creamy head. The smell was a little under developed, but as the head faded fruity vapors, spice, pepper and lots of herbal hops rise from the glass like Zombies from the dead. Then comes bold flavors of awesomeness that lie in the waters of the Rayon Vert Sea. Plenty of fruit on the forefront of the tongue. I got peach, pear, and some type of berry. Then a peppery tartness comes into action. The finish is a little dry and a little bitter, but mostly amazing! I loved this beer so much that I am going to go out on the first day that The Beer Year is over and get one of these. So good!
