Commercial Description:
Similar to a beer brewed in China some 9,000 years ago, Chateau Jiahu used a recipe that included rice, honey, and grape and hawthorn fruits. The formula was obtained from archaeologists who derived it from the residues of pottery jars found in the late Stone Age village of Jiahu in northern China. The residues are the earliest direct evidence of brewed beverages in ancient China.

An unclear orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of spices - corinander being the strongest. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of spices - I pick up coriander. I find it lacking a bit of character - but 9000 years ago I probably would have loved it.
