Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of spices and peaches. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of peaches and spices among them ginger, leading to a dry and slightly spicy finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Hazy, pale amber golden with a white head. Spicy, slightly perfumy aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet, fruity notes. Plenty of yeast and diacetyl. Not overly thrilling. 270607

Light amber colour. Coriander, cinnamon on the nose...light oxidation as well. Rounded spiciness on the palate with light toasty malts, some brown sugar. Hop and spice last throughout what you’d normally consider a clean finish for the style. Not bad stuff.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy golden orange body with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma of floral, orange peel, lemon, clove, coriander, and mustiness. Flavor of spicy yeast, citrus, and a touch of tobacco with a soft, dry finish.

(50cl bottle, thanks jasonp) Cloudy straw body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, clove, some nutmeg, spicy yeast. Taste is medium sweet, clove, herbal, dusky, light banana. Dry finish. Medium body, some chalk.

16.9oz bottle-pours a retaining off white head and cloudy gold color. Aroma is herbal, spice, yeast. Taste is medium malt, herbal, spice, yeast, some/sour vinegar. Not sure what they were aiming for but… Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing.

Champagne cork popping effect. Citrusy (lemon?) aroma, mixed spice, and yeast. No malt smell. Orange tinged golden color with a white head that nearly overwhelms the glass, subsiding with a wee bit of lacing. Starts with a spicey clove, perhaps some coriander. Followed by hop. Citrus and yeast wander around. Dry, arguably a hint of acidity. Substantial mouthfeel. Refreshing. Likely the best of Bison.

Bottled. Godlen coloured. Unclear. Not much head. Barnyard, citrus, light grape, earth and psice in the aroma. Flavour is earthy, siced, sweet and has light bretty notes. Very fresh. Medium bodied. Is dry. Grapish and sour end. Nice one. Very refreshing.
