 Slipstream (628), USA
Jul 1, 2009 On tap at Rattle’n’Hum. Light, lemony aroma. This is a pretty sweet, malty IPA that is easy with the hops. A dash of floral and spice flavors. A little light, but good.

Jul 1, 2009 22oz no date from Bottle Barn--the latest Elysian they got! Clear golden orange with a one finger creamy off-white head, good retention. Light flower petals atop some biscuity malts and lighter caramel notes. Not much in the malt realm thus far. The flavor is pretty much the same with maybe a hint more jasmine. The finish is semi-dry with bitterness around a 3 at best. Medium body with light prickly carbonation. This was way more like an APA

Jun 25, 2009 Caramel and bright jasmine aroma. Clear gold. Sweetness is quickly balanced with the spice/herb? hops don’t really come in.

Jun 23, 2009 Draft at RNH. Pours a honey amber body with an off white head. Floral earth y notes with a hint of honey and a dry bitter earth character and some light tea notes.

Jun 21, 2009 Draught. Poured amber golden with thin white head. Little lacing. Very jasminey aroma with a bit of citrus. Hoppy flavour, tastes like an ale, not a jasmine tea. Hoppy finish. This ale had a bit of butteriness as well, which helped to balance the spicy food.

Jun 16, 2009 On tap at RNH (NYC). Very thin head with little retention and pours an amber/golden color. Smells like an infusion of jasmine flowers and honey- and the taste hits the palate with a surge of soft, sweet herbal notes.

Jun 14, 2009 Pours an orange/amber color with a thin white head. Aroma was floral, caramel, not very hoppy, very vegetal, almost some strange broccoli hints. Flavor was the same, some floral notes, some almost cloying sweetness, and a big hit of broccoli water. Not my favorite beer.
Beardface (772), Eugene, Oregon, USA
Jun 4, 2009 22 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Pours out a light amber color with some solid head and light lacing. Aroma is heavy on the floral side of things, with a light caramel malt smell as well. Flavor is exactly the same, quite flowery backed with light malt. Okay brew, but not one I’ll need to re-visit anytime soon.
