22 oz. bottle. Poured hazy orange with tons of floating sediment. Flavor starts with sweet malt and jasmine and progresses to a grassy, earthy taste. Just a touch of bitterness to finish. Jasmine becomes a bit too overwhelming.

5th October 2008. Cloudy brown beer. Very frothy. Soft palate. The head is noticeably floral and sweet. The hops are there but more than offset by the floral sweetness. Just a touch of bitterness in the finish as well as the hops presenting a bit more with some marmaladey orange grapefruit. Very nicely balanced beer and off the beaten track!

22 oz bottle. Pours a thin lasting white head, with heavy lacing, over a basically clear golden (SRM 7) body, loaded with flocculated particles.....nose is floral and honey (jasmine and hops)....taste is light base malt to start, then heavy vegital bitterness, finishing with hop floral tones....mouth feel is medium, carbonation is medium. I did not like the vegetable flavors that came into this beer. It may have been abused previously, so that there was a lot of autolysis, or from the very bottom of the barrel (with plenty of flocculated beasts around) but something was quite wrong with this particular bottle. Maybe it was just too old, but there was no BB date on it.

On tap at the Arctic Club Hotel bar. Hazy ruby-amber with a strong white head. Nose is nondescript. Taste is soapy. Shampoo. Light sweetness of hops is overpowered. Didn’t work for me.

You would think that the IPA would just overwhelm the gentle jasmine but this really melds together well. Just the right amount of floral hops swirl together with the sweetness of the jasmine to create a really flavorful beer.

Poured a slightly hazy straw yellow. Nose was very feint floral notes with hints of bread and caramel. Taste was like a pale ale that someone left a flower petal in. Not very hoppy, moderate bitterness, body was thin and bland, the only thing interesting was the jasmine, which didnt add much since it had nothing to play with.

22 oz, 4.29 university market, you could definitely taste the jasmine, a little over whelming, sometihng different so that was nice but not something i would buy again.

A nice floral bouquet with hints of jasmine amid the hops and dominant malts. A dark orange beer with plenty of white head. A sweet malty body that doesn’t overwhelm the subtle hops and very sweet jasmine flavor. The floral finish lingers for a several minutes.
