Frosty Goodness » Bison Brewing

Bison Organic Honey Basil. I can’t believe I’m about to say this…

… But despite the less than appealing sound of the flavor combo, this beer is actually …good!

I know what you’re thinking, but the flavors of honey and basil are actually subtle enough to work really well here. You can taste them for sure, but they give the otherwise standard ale a very “wow that’s interesting” flare.

I’m so proud of Bison. I have always been a bit skittish since their misguided attempt at gingerbread beer, but they may just be on the road to flavored beer redemption.

Because its such a specialized flavor, I’m not sure I would use it to fill a cooler. Nonetheless, if you are looking for something to pair with that thin crust pizza in front of you, I don’t think a finer contender can be found.

Bison Organic IPA. Now with more wood.

Poor Bison. They have such a hard time making beer that I like. And this is no exception. Urged by my sense of treehuggery, I’ve been trying a swath of organic beer lately. And in this IPA’s case, organic means it tastes like wood. Likely due to the fact that it has to much malt, and I’m a picky bastard, I just couldn’t finish it.

Bison Gingerbread Ale

Bookkeeping post #2. Gingerbread? I guess. Ale? Not so much. Least beer tasting thing labeled “Ale” Ive ever had. Not bad, but not memorable to ever buy again.
