22 ounce bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a thin head. Average head retention and lacing. Nutty aroma with caramel and citrus hop notes. Taste is bitter hop notes with citrus hops, caramel and toffee. The jasmine shows up in the end as a nondescript herbal spiciness. Even though this has some age there Medium bodied. Nice beer.

bottle - Pours slightly cloudy orange colored with a very thin head. The aroma is caramel malt and huge citrus and flower hops along with a bit of alcohol. Fantastic aroma. The flavor is intensely hopped with ample citrus notes. Interesting compared to other recent ratings, but I called it a little ight on the malt if anything and definitely let it warm, but the latter goes for all beer that’s any good. Refrigerator temp is too cold. It also has a good, long, bitter finish.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep clear gold with off white head. The aroma is full rich malts to grainy malts, some pine hops and mild Jasmine tea in the background. The taste has a nice Jasmine tea bag flavor as moderate pine hops chime in followed by rich tasty maltiness with a side of graininess to boot. This is very nice and extra rich for an IPA. The hops and the Jasmine tea go very well together.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours orange, thin white head. Aroma is hoppy with nice use of the jasmine herb. Taste, light hops and malty, really good use the jasmine herb; leaving a very earthly feel, of tea. Not my fav. 3F, but a fine brew nonetheless.

Courtesy dchmela. Hoppy citric nose plus fresh baked rye bread. Really huge rye breadiness. Copper color. Piney and lemony hop flavors. More vague citrus linger in the finish. Semi-sweet fruits waft in the background. Very unique.

22 oz bottle courtesy of tjthresh. Pour is a hazed orange-ruby with a nice 1 and 1/2 inch off white head. Some patchy lacing is left on glass as the head retreats. Pretty in the glass. Aroma of fresh citrus hops, slightly sweet orange and apricots. There is also a soft spicy / perfume thing going on. Nice fresh nose. Taste is the semi-sweet citrus with a fair amount of resin bitterness. The jasmine is quite evident in the taste, and is soft, tangy and lively mid palate. The integration of hops and spice is nice, good relaxed interplay between citrus, resin and the Jasmine. Palate has some water to it, but it’s not thin by any means. This was an interesting beer, but I couldn’t help being reminded of drinking an herbal iced tea. Not a bad thing, just not what I normally look for in a beer. Nicely drinkable beer. Thanks for sending this one my way Tom.

Bottle thanks to Blutt59 at bu11zeye’s tasting. Pours a hazy amber body with greeat lacing. Aroma of nice hops, caramel, and some cobwebs (as well as an odd aroma that I guess is the Jasmine). Taste is nice and hoppy with nice caramel, and more cobwebs. Malt profile of a imperial red. Some grass in the taste as well. Syrupy mouthfeel with light bubbles.

Bottle from Three Floyds. Murky medium orange-brown body, thin buff head. Aroma with typical pine and citrus, but with an interesting floral characteristic. Leafy, herbal body with a touch of citrus (peach), toasty and bready. The malt is a bit flabby and sweet after a few sips. Not bad, but I’m glad I split the bomber.
