Exciting beer!  Chateau Jiahu, new from Dogfish Head, is a  recreation of a 9,000 year old Chinese beer, based on molecular analysis of residue in clay pots from that time.  It's science beer!  BeerAdvocate says:

Very smooth on the palate with a creamy carbonation buildup, seltzery feel and tonic-water bite. This is followed by a quick and sharp tannic tartness that oddly lingers in the background and into the finish. Layered on top of this is something quite sweet, but not cloying, with a rosewater-like base, notes of strawberries, faint berry-like sourness, white grapes, orange pith, floral honey, over-ripe peach meat, pear juice, hints of mint, and a cutting peppery edge that segues into a somewhat-spicy and increasingly warming booziness—thanks to its 8 percent alcohol by volume. Pleasingly herbal, akin to sweetened cold Chinese tea. Light tannins linger in the bone-dry, powdery finish.

Yum!

(though it's probably a bad sign that I'm thinking longingly of beer at 9:15 in the morning...)
