Thanks Naven. Never been a huge fan of Jasmine, but I think that’s more for the realms of my green teas than with this beer because this worked out surprisingly well. Not overwhelming at all and quite a refreshing surprise. Pretty good. I’d drink it again for sure.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a hazy copper color with an average off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Good floral, earthy hoppy and herbs aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Moderate Jasmine bittersweet flavor with a moderate smooth bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good brew with spicy food.

Bottle. Pours a clear dirty orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is quite fruity and flowery (lots of jasmine I suppose, although I’m not exactly sure what jasmine smells like on its own but it’s probably what I’m smelling). Flavor is similarly jasmine-flowery, almost perfume-ish tasting, with a slightly bitter finish. Some tropical fruits emerge as the beer warms. This is pretty decent but a little sweet and too jasminey for me.

Bottle. Aroma of flowers, I can only presume jasmine. Some grass and sweet, mildly fruity malt, but quite perfumy above all else. Flavor becomes very herbal with the flowers. Hints of the malt come and go, but mostly an herbal, peppery, and I guess bitter feeling pervades. I’ll stick to my regular old IPA’s with hops I think.

Bottle. Poured a clear light orange color with a white head. Pleasant fruit-dominated aroma of citrus (orange), mango, peach, and melon. Tasted of pastry, subdued pine, orange, and a hint of apricot. Nice mild accompanying bitterness at the end.

Bottle, 22oz from Capone’s. Pours dark straw with 2-finger off-white head. Nose is juicy wet hops, fruity, malty, mango, black pepper, perfumy florals. Tastes very perfumy, peppery, hoppy, like drinking a female rosey perfume, with hops, huge florals, and spicy jasmine notes. Medium hefy yet very complex palate with a smooth, complex finish. Not a hop bomb, per se, but a floral/Jasmine bomb.
