Sep 19, 2009 I really really liked this beer. It has a firm malty base with notes of flower and fruit at the beginning followed by a honey accent at the end. Phenomenal.

Sep 12, 2009 Pours clear amber, with a thin white head, some lacing. Aroma of honey, grape, caramel, apple with a sweet floral overtone. Medium, creamy body, low carbonation. Flavors of honey, grape, spice and toffee, very sweet, with some citrus and grass, a mildly tangy finish. Falls somewhere between mead and beer.

Sep 11, 2009 This beer has a rather strange flavor. It seems to be mostly sour grapes that turn rather acidic in the aftertaste. I didn’t really believe that DH was making a 9000 year old beer, but maybe so.

Sep 9, 2009 Pilsner-like amber/gold with very small white head. Slow, thin lacing. Powerful peach aroma reminiscent of berry gum. Taste very similar to red bull. Very grape-like. Honey notes on mid-tongue. Grape/berry throughout.

Sep 6, 2009 Bottle from City Beverage in Winston-Salem, NC. Brilliant clear golden-orange with a lasting white head. Aroma sweet with rice, honey, white grapes and other light fruits. Flavor is honey and white grapes - reminiscent of DFH Midas Touch - also other light fruits, ricey grains, spices, and bready pale malt. Palate smooth with high carbonation and medium-full body, a tiny bit syrupy. Pretty good overall and a very interesting idea for a beer. Drinkability average.

Sep 6, 2009 A subtly sweet aroma, resembling sake from the rice. The color is golden orange - delectable to the eye. The flavor is exactly like the aroma, slightly sweet and sake-like. You can taste the honey as well. It is an acquired taste - resembling but better than the Otter Creek Otter San in my opinion.

Sep 6, 2009 750mL courtesy of Cavie. Pours clear orange with a small fizzy head. The aroma is big phenolic spicy grape juice - reminds me of a grape homebrew old ale. The flavor is big sweet grape and esters and a big dousing of alcohol. Very high soda pop carbonation and medium body. This is a lot like Midas Touch, I’m not gonna lie...

Sep 5, 2009 Wow.... dated 7000 BC! If true, this is the earliest beer known.
Orange. Fast head. Aroma: Fruits, malt, floral. Flavor: Fruits, malt, spices, honey. Its like a Mead teamed up with a soda to kick my ass.
I can imagine a Stone Age Chineese brewmaster serving this and singing "For all you do, this Jiahu’s for you!" No wonder China had some of the earliest empires...and has the worlds largest population!
