Bottle. Copper body, medium off-white head, nose of PNW hops with vegetal notes. Moderate bitterness, some crystal malt character, some hop character, not bad, not great.

Jul 22, 2008 Copper pour with off-white head. Nose is resiny hops, caramel malt, some fruit. Crisp flavor with hops balanced well by the malt. Not terribly complex or palate hefty, but fairly smooth.

Jul 12, 2008 Called Bison Organic IPA (different beer?). Faintly cloudy orange, with a thin white head. Clean, soapy aroma. Clean, crisp stoney bitterness, some woodsy notes. Not a whole lot of malt character, not very complicated, but tasty.

Jul 4, 2008 Pours medium/light copper from 12 oz bottle, formed little to no foamy head. Aroma of the usual, some hops, floral citrus and a bit of caramel. Flavour is of hoppy caramel burst of herbal delight. Pine resin sneaks through, Kinda got a topical fruit thing going too, ending a little dry. Overall decent IPA, but not what I would consider world class.

Jun 29, 2008 wow, this is nice. beautiful deep golden color and clarity. wee bit of toast and assertive but not overbearing malt character of straw, biscuit and light caramel fringed with understated phenols. The hop mix is beautiful. I can’t make it out at all but with neither a west coast or british signature and seemingly a blend of two bold complements. Wow, this is very nice without being over the top
