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.

12 oz. bottle purchased @ Julio’s Liquors for $3.54 after Wild Six discount. English pint shows me a clear gold color with large amounts of head due to over-carbonation. Aromas of Belgian yeast and a light farmhouse funk. Taste is yeast, grapefruit pith, light pale malt and Brett shows up through –out the sip. Lightly funky. Lighter side of medium in body. Texture is dry with the Brett building up as you drink.

(Bottle, 0.65 l, at Porvoon Kekri, 20121026) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citricness, tartness and spiciness. Palate was medium bodied with quite high carbination. Flavours were fruitiness, wild yeast, grapefruit, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was yeast, hoppy and bitter. Nice hoppy beer with fitting Belgian style yeastiness.

35,5cl Bottle. Trade with Fonefan. Pours deep cloudy orange with a large fluffy head. Nose is brett, fruit and hops. Quite intense and "Orval-ish". Fresh fruity hoppy bitter flavor with a good bretty bite and dryness. Delicious.

Pours hazy orangish color with white head. Bretty and yeasty aromas with floral hops. Slightly sweet fruity flavor with bready yeast, grassy hops and brett. Medium body with lovely carbonation and a dry finish. Good stuff.

0.355l bottle. This is a light gusher - so much that I'm glad I opened it at the kitchen, and it pours a step-wise blurry almost glowing orange-golden body with a massive massive fluffy off-white head. The nose is at first a bit disturbing with only green cider apples and yeast, but when the head settles down I get some Americanized fruity hops, citrus, dry apples and something that reminds of vinegar-smoke. Not horrible, but not great either. It's heavy on the carbonation and it feel a bit fizzing and thin in the mouth. More of that near smoky thing in the taste. A bit overwhelming actually, and there is definitely something reminding me of a little infection going on here. Light yeasty with red grapes, clementines and it's quite dry. Reminds me of Inferno in many ways. The brett is not persuading me, and I'm a bit confused on what I actually think about this one. 13.09.2012

355ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Pillow-like, white head covering a slightly unclear golden body. Tart fruity nose with a spicy touch. Lemony fruits in flavour added by spices and yeasty fruitiness. Sweet and tart down the throat. Foamy in the mouth. Easy to quaff. Ok, but rather tedious (Hotel room, Oslo 14.09.2012).

35,5cl bottle from Vinmonopolet, Vika. Pours amber with a huge off-white head. Yeasty aroma, very Belgian with spices, hops, fruit and malt. Sweet and fruity with a quite dry and medium bitter finish. Nicely hopped. Pleasant Belgian ale. (2012-09-15)
