Year-in-Beer Week 3

Year-in-Beer Week 3 is Greenflash Brewing's Rayon Vert

From Greenflash's website on the Rayon Vert:

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.

ABV: 7%
IBUs: 32

Year in Beer Kick-off

Ok so after a slight delay here is the Year-in-Beer:

The goal is to try 52 different beers in 52 weeks.  Each beer club we are exchanging beers with the only limit that no beer may be repeated.  We then assign each beer to a week, and at some point during that week we try that beer and post 3-4 sentences either here or on our group e-mail page.

Here are the first 6 weeks (yes we started one week into the new year, so we will go one week into next year):


Week 1 (Monday January 9-Sunday January 15)- Blue Point Brewing Company Hoptical Illussion
Week 2 (Monday January 16-Sundday January 22)- Long Trail's Double Bag
