If Green Flash were founded in historical Belgium, Rayon Vert would have been our flagship brew. A bold layering of hops finds balance from traditional malts. Bottle conditioning with fresh ale yeast and Brettanomyces finishes the beer, adding a delightful effervescence, dryness and continuously evolving character. Rayon Vert is Green Flash.

Bottle. Deep clear amber color, white head. Aroma of light funk, pepper, spiced brown bread. Taste is light barnyard, mixed spice. Very tasty.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a decent hazy orange color with a two finger white head. The lacing was somewhat there and trickling but trying to stick.
The smell had a wonderful blend of fruit and yeast with notes of candy sweetness. There was a light fruit ranging close to the citrus, mango, and a light pineapple. There were some notes of a green apple sourness.
The taste took those previously mentioned flavors to encapsulate a warmingly sweet sort of fruity stickiness.
On the palate, this one sat right about a medium on the body with a tad of sessionability but honestly, this one seemed to make me want to sip it a bit.
Overall, so there is a slight sour-ness but its nothing overly done. Would I have this again? Probably.

I almost gave this a 5 for appearance, except the towering fluffy head would be mare at home on a tripel than on a Belgian ale. Nice yeasty aroma some floral notes, a hazy copper orange body, taste is yeast and some mellow hoppiness. Overall a great attempt at the Belgian style.

Botella de 33 cl en el lúpulo, en el momento en 17-05-2014. Color ámbar con espuma beige poco persistente. Aromas y sabores ligeros, ácidos, con pequeños toques de maderas y ligeramente afrutados que se acentúan según coge temperatura. Presencia de carbónico, recuerdos a las lambic belgas con algo mas de maltas y un ligero toque amargo final bastante suave. Bastante fácil de beber. Interesante.

Bottle 660ml @Beer Hunters. Clear copper/amber color, big cloudy white head. Aroma is funky, some fruityness. Medium-bodied, very active carbonation. Flavor is also somewhat funky, citrus. "American-Belgian" yeast. Nice Orval clone.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht trübes goldenes Bier mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch hefig, malzig süß, leicht würzig. Geschmack leicht hefig, fruchtig malzig, Gewürze, blumig.

Bardzo dobre, piana oszaamiajaca az sama wychodzi w slimakowym tempie i wciaz rosnie, Metne i cytrusowy aromat, jakby sfermentowany grejfrut, wyglad jasne ale po chwili w miare wlewania ogniscie pomaranczowe sie robi, sporo metnosci osadu, choc na dnie nie byl przyczepiony wiec nie trzebabylo beltac ta mala zgrabna i fajniutka buteleczka. Troche moze zbyt chmielne APA nieco przypominalo, ale takze zblizone mimo to dobrze do belgijskiego gatunku. Piwo Super pijalne.

Gusher, but I managed to contain it. Vast coarseish deep offwhite head. Clear amber body, although at first it’s nearly all head. Earthy barnyard and cow dung aroma with mealy notes. Dry-sweet-acidic resiny tropical fruit and barnyard taste with salty wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish, fizzy mouthfeel. Dry-bitter resiny wooden cow dung aftertaste with citric salty notes. A bit harsh and sharp, but has interesting aspects, too. (0.355l bottle, from wine monopoly, Vika, Oslo.)

A hazed golden amber ale with a thick frothy and lacing light mocha head. In aroma, loads if Brett yeast over biscuit malt, green grass, orange pulp, and floral hops, very nice. In mouth, a beautiful example of the genre with lightly sweet Belgian malt with good Brett presence, soil, floral hops, very smooth yet complex. Well done!

Bottle pours a clear orange copper with a HUGE permanent rocky off white head. Seriously this thing is a monster. Floral spicy hop and Belgian yeast aroma with some lemon peel. Plenty bitter but tasty hop bite with that spiciness again. I’ve had a few Belgian IPAs but this I think is the best example of how those to seemingly different characters can come together. Very tasty
