bb Backlog, Bottle, Pours murky and hazy golden brown with an average white head. Aroma is pretty nice: herbs, jasmine, grass hops, lavender, and pine. Flavor was muddled with some flowers and light jasmine but not enough compared to the scent. Bitter finish with some random flowers and sweet malt.
On tap. Pours a nice copper color with decent head and bits of lacing. Aroma is floral with bit of citrus, fruit and slight malt sweetness. Taste is floral with fruit, subtle malt sweetness and citrus. Nice bitterness and a clean finish. Medium body, with a nice hop feel. Easy drinker.
Unique flavors with a smooth IPA bitterness. Paired well with doughy appetizer, and had a hint of citrus.
On tap at brewpub. A clearish golden orange ale with a resilient white head. Aroma is grapefruit, lemon, green tea. Flavor is grapefruit, lemon and lime. Finish is green tea, grass, grapefruit, lemon and lime. Lingering herbal flavors. Full body, weak to average carbonation.
Pours a clear golden yellow with a big white foamy head. Not much flavor or aroma. I was expecting a floral flavoring but didn’t taste it.

@ Tanakaya Liquor Store, Tokyo, Japon
A: Hazy golden / Dorado turbio.
T/S: Sweet, fruity, grapefruit, jasmine / Dulce, afrutado, uva, jazmin.
Pours a nice clear amber. Aromas of jasmine and hops. Flavors of grapefruit and orange. Nice hop flavor with a spicy edge.
Draft at Moriartys. Hazy dark orange pour with just a slim ring of foam and some happenstance of lace. Bit sweet and chewy for an IPA. Full-bodied. The jasmine helps dry down, or at least brings nice complexity to, the prevalent medium caramel sugars. Earthy tangerine/mandarin hops. Interesting and unusual but ultimately too sweet to recommend as an IPA.
From 22 ounce bottle to wine glass
Appearance: Orange in color, a bit hazy
Aroma: smell of hops, fragrant very floral
Taste: Bitter with sweet aftertaste
Mouth feel: A bit fizzy
Overall: Very good beer

Rating #1225 - On tap @Underground_yeg. Pours a rich golden, small white head, minimal lacing. Aroma is floral, jasmine On the palate, similar citrus and pine zest, floral notes. Medium bodied and off balance. Jasmine goes into an herbal territory thats a little off putting for me. Not my favourite.
Bomber. Pours hazy amber. Aroma is heavy jasmine and floral, toasted and caramel malts, and light pineapple. Flavor is sweet and tasty with floral notes prevalent along with soft sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body.
Bottle from Hatos Bar. Clear gold copper with a medium-sized soapy eggshell-colored head. Some honey and jasmine tea all over the nose. Taste is fairly well-balanced until the jasmine kicks in on the finish and lingers. Very weird tea-like beer. Not my thing.
Appearance: has a very minimal off white head, the beer is a hazy bronze color
Aroma: very floral, tangerine,
Taste: orange syrup sweetness, minimal bitterness for an ipa,
Palate: soft carbonation, heavier mouthfeel, minimal aftertaste
Overall: kind of let down, too sweet for me and too fruity also, smells really good
Les notes de tête sont de la fleur de jasmin ainsi que du blé.Nuances de miel l. Fraîcheur du houblon
Bomber. Clear orange, thin off-white foam. Fragrant flowery aroma. Odd perfumed fruity taste, herbal, floral, lean backseat malts, citrus hint. Softer carbonation, light-medium bodied, moderately hopped. Pass the palate cleanser. NFL (Not For Lagerboys)
Tap at the brewery. Pint glass. Copper in color with a slight haze. Mild head. Aroma is mostly floral with mild citrus. Taste brings the jasmine to the table which is actually pretty appreciated. Floral notes with a thin mouthfeel. Relatively tame flavor profile overall with the floral remaining present. Bitterness at the end. Decent effort but I want a fuller taste and more satisfying mouthfeel.
Rated based on notes taken 28 Apr 2012 -- Floral aroma, sweet and floral flavor, hops not very aromatic or powerful. Pleasant bitterness.
On tap at St Augustine’s in Vancouver. A medium Amber beer with white head. Faint floral nose. On the palate the floral note is evident and not to my taste, frankly. Reminds me of tea, which is not something I normally associate with beer. vaguely pleasant, but a 4 oz taster is more than enough, thanks. 3.
Draft pour pint at the fields location. Pours a light clear copper color with a short foam head. Wonderful white grape aroma. Smells like a sour beer. Flavor is very floral as expected with a ton of grape and berry flavor. Sweet, and super drinkable. Very tasty
Finger white head, golden color, light cloudy, good lacing. Aroma: jasmine, wheat, floral hops, light caramel. Palate: light body, average carbonation, bitter finish, dry finish. Taste: sweet caramel, with jasmine overwhelming the palate for a brief second, on into floral and piney hops that overwhelm and finish out the taste. Overall, very refreshing, interesting, liked this more out of a bottle than on tap, the jasmine is less overwhelming.
On draft at the local bar a different type of ipa. Floral smell and taste was bitter with the jasmine adding a taste of Tea. Not my favorite or one I would recommend to a friend
Pours a hazy orange with a small fluffy white head. Aromas of clove, tons of floral, jasmine, and fruity. Taste was medium sweetness, not much bitter. Not exaclty my favorite style, but well done enough for me to give a solid rating. Body felt light with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Well done and interesting beer.
Ok, very good spice aroma, good hoppy flavor, pours a clea orange and good clean IPA flavors.
Pretty good ipa with a twist from Elysian brewing in Seattle. One of my favorite breweries by far.
The aroma is citrus and floral with undertones of cloves . The color is a dark orange with a cloudy appearance. The head is somewhat thin. The taste is on the sweet side not a bitter ipa. The body is light with a slick texture. The carbonation is average.The finish is astringent. Overall this is definitely a winner in my book, what a great beer.
22 oz bottle poured into a tulip. Clear dark golden orange with plenty of tiny bits of sediment and two fingers of off-white head. Aromas of big floral and herbal notes, flowers, light citrus. Tastes of floral, herbal and flowery notes, light citrus, caramel and sweet malt. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Probably my least favorite from Elysian.
Gold pour, frothy white head. Big time jasmine. Super floral. Frothy and light bitterness. Really clean and smooth with a touch of pepper
Tried at Hopscotch. A different style of IPA, with a floral slant. Taste was similar to drinking a jasmine ice-t. Not my style for a beer.
