Bold and powerful, Bison is bursting with tropical fruit and pine from a fusion of mighty American hops.

Keg tap at Nook, Heaton Moor, Stockport. Light to mid-gold, clear with a good bit of visible carbonation. Very little head but quite a lot of latticed lacing. Piney hop oils in the aroma, some grapefruit peel with a slight metallic edge. Taste is bitter but not overly so, with a an intense hoppy citrus mid-sip. It backs away just that little bit in the finish, but there's plenty of back-of-the-tongue pine in the aftertaste. Heavy carbonation. Not a hard-bitter nor a blow-you-away IPA, but it's more than solid and a decent representation of the style.

Pours pale gold with a white head, looks good. Nice thrusting bitterness, dry finish comes quickly, quite a lot of pineapple. Good.

On tap (keg) at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of discrete citrus and tropical fruits, a hint of toffee. Hoppy flavour, medium dry, notes of grapefruit and resin, bitter aftertaste.

Bottle from Honest Brew. Clear golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Aroma of pine, menthol and orange rind. Flavour of lemon, honey and grain with a bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A good, bitter IPA, reminiscent of those from ten years ago.
