Had on cask at the brewery a few days ago. Served in a pint glass.
Appearance: A nice mildly hazy and fairly dark copper color with good spiky white bubbles popping all over the place, leaving the kind of oily-looking retention I always love to see from a cask pour.
Smell: Whoa. Extremely intense jasmine oil aromas. My friend next to me, who also had this, said to me, "I feel like I just bit into some bath salts." And that was just the smell. The jasmine is certainly not used as a touch here, but it's pretty much the focus. Along with some citrus hops, this thing is pretty intense, but I wish there was more balance.
Taste: I feel like the brewers maybe got what they wanted with this: a hoppy Pale Ale infused with jasmine. But the problem is the initial jasmine bite is assaulting, even more like you just threw bath salts all over your face and some of it got in your mouth. Then it goes into a kind of insane hoppiness, which is unexpected and nice, but the mingling of the jasmine and the citrus hop bitterness end up kind of fighting each other in the end, instead of a good sense of balance being present.
Mouthfeel: The best thing about the brew. A nice medium-bodied creaminess happens before the assault of hops at the end as far as the flavor goes.
Drinkability: I tried this because I'd never had a jasmine beer before, and the good thing is, I know that I probably never will again. It just seems too fragrant and flowery for me, too much for a tea instead of a beer maybe, though I imagine some may think differently about this. I commend Roosterfish for doing such an interesting beer, though, especially for a cask version.
