Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at GABF 2009. Pale golden pour. Light flowery, hoppy aroma (different from floral hops, this smells like roses). Citrus hop flavor balanced with caramel but with an overwhelmingly unpleasant jasmine flavor. I applaud the brewer for doing something different, and people seem to like it, but it wasn’t for me.

Sep 26, 2009 Wow interesting aroma of wildflowers and honey. Deep straw and slightly cloudy. Flavor is not overly hoppy but what a great compliment between the jasmine and the hops. Nice.

Sep 24, 2009 This orange/golden ale poured with a generous off-white head and a floral aroma. There is a nice balance of caramel malt and bittering hops that produces a tasty, but not exceptional IPA. There is a slighlty harsh finish, probably from the flowers, that detracts from the balance.

Sep 22, 2009 Updated: Sep 23, 2009Pours golden straw color with small white head that diminishes. Aroma is malty, a bit floral and earthy. Taste is floral/jasmine, honey, straw, light bread. Jasmine comes through in time. Not nearly hoppy enough for an IPA, which should be hops dominated (not floral). Soapy jasmine keeps coming, this just needs more bittering hops to offset the overly jasmine flavor.

Sep 17, 2009 Tap @ Falling Rck. Nose is pretty light on the promised jasmine, heavy caramel malt and a touch of acidic bitterness. Taste is similar, the caramel malt upfront, accent of Jasmine in transition and a decent citric hop profile to finish. Nothing extraordinary, but a sold beer.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle from Santa. Thanks!
Pours a thick cheddar yellow with a nice white head and intricate lacing. Aroma is sweet hops, strawberry, and slight candied sugar. Flavor is thin floral with an offensively heavy jasmine note. Thin and water-like on the tongue. More like liquid flowers than a beer; guess jasmine ain’t my thing.

Sep 11, 2009 Tap. Clear orange/yellow pour, plenty of carbonation and some standard hops aroma with some noticeable jasmine. Flavor was rich mellow hops and some vanilla? Finish was herbal, creamy and lasting. Another solid beer.
