Aug 27, 2008 (22oz bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) Hasy amber body topped by small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, jasmine. Taste is medium sweet, floral, light orange. Light-medium body. Weird -- almost devoid of flavor, just a neutral ale.

Jan 10, 2009 Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, jasmine, some caramel. Tastes floral and crisp with a dry malty finish. I really like the unusual flavor and bitterness to this one. Good experiment.

Dec 31, 2008 22 oz bottle. Deep amber beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and caramelly. There is a light orangey citrus aroma along with a light floral note. A soft berry-like fruitiness also makes itself known. Flavour is quite floral. A bit of jasmine but mostly a herbal/fruity hoppiness. Nicely malty swetness as well. Quite a soft restrained floral jasmine flavour on the back. Decent brew.

Mar 29, 2008 22 ounce bottle from City Market in Burlington, VT (March 2008), sampled a little below cellar temperature from a Unibroue glass. A moderate to largish creamy off-white head forms above the pale translucent-near opaque amber body, fading quickly and leaving a touch of faint lacing....floral notes in the aroma are obvious but not particularly powerful, not dominating but instead mixing interestingly with some cedary woods and light citric hints....the body is a touch woody as well, moderately sweet with hints of burnt sugars, lightly bitter and tart throught and growing somewhat hard and mineralic, and more strongly tart to finish....hops are muted, the woody hardness perhaps more the product of the flowers....interesting and drinkable, but not entirely successful.

Sep 26, 2009 BOMBER. Pours an amber body with a white head. Very earthy with spruce, twig, and herbal notes. A bit of dirt and herbal floral earthy tones of lavender and jasmine. Very twiggy and dry with a bland finish. Eh.

Oct 27, 2008 Bomber poured a clear tarnished copper with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, jasmine, light graininess and a hint of cocoa. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, cocoa, jasmine and a hint of citrus with a smooth lightly bitter finish.

Oct 23, 2008 GABF 2008. Amber brown. Heady jasmine flower aroma. Palate tames down the jasmine with a nice caramel malt balance. Not for everyone (Parksy and TylerDurden hated it), but I thought it was a nice change of pace.

Aug 24, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Pours a hazy, golden-orange color; light-tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Very vegetal, stalky, and floral aroma; odd, but clearly expressed, like a flower garden. Medium mouthfeel: basic sweetness, stalky floral notes, and a touch of maltiness expressed at the core; very floral, odd stuff overall; watery along the edges. Medium finish: some sugar, toasty malts, and not much else.
