Tap @ Cole’s. Copper body, white head w. nice lacing. Nose is pretty restrained - piney hops & light malt, some herbal strawberriness. Flavor is nice piney hops - herbal & rosemary. A bunch of early spring fruits. Nice strong bitterness at the very finish.

If you are not a fan of floral flavors, you will not enjoy this beer. I am however, which is why it’s one of my faves. So unique and quite well balanced in my opinion. If only they could ship outside of Washington....sigh

Not being a huge fan of N.American IPA’s I was deeply surprised by this one. Stunning easy drinking beer, the hops give it plenty of taste, but not at the expense of the subtle Jasmine flavour which lingers on the palate pleasantly.

Absolutely the worst IPA I’ve ever tasted! So flowery I thought I was drinking bubble bath. Avoid!

savnac (1482) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - MAY 16, 2012
22 oz bottle. Hazy golden orange with a small head and lots of floaties. Aroma is floral, perfume and dough. Flavor is bright floral hops that add a medium bitterness with some slightly sweet malt. Medium body with average carbonation and a soft, smooth mouth feel. Really nice IPA.

Interesting blend of floral and hops. Just think that the floral notes were over done a bit for my taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

TURDFERGUSON (2759) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - APR 27, 2012
Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Fairly clear orange with a small white head. Nose is potent jasmine flowers, some grape, ripe plums. Flavor is similar, super jasmine, tastes like you’ve got a bunch of blossoms in your mouth. Not enough hops and bitterness.

wintyguy (38) - British Columbia, CANADA - APR 27, 2012
Draft from the Irish pub. Poured right to the rim with no head. Hazy copper in colour. Nice aroma, floral indeed. Taste is very cool with the jasmine of course, but also hints of cascades or maybe amarillo, as I got hints of tangerine, orange. But I’ve never had a jasmine flavored beer so, tough to negotiate through its flavors (jasmine). Overall I really liked this IPA, a very neat expression.

Bottle. Strong jasmine, rice and citrus aroma. Hazy orange body with thin lasting head. Flavor begins with orange, pine, jasmine with a mix of other floral notes. Bitter finish. A very unique IPA
