Commercial Description:
For our 22oz IPA bottling, we play around a bit. We use the exact same malt profile in each brew, but experiment with different hop varieties. This high alpha hop leaves a clean bitterness and is a good example of grapefruit and pine. Sometimes, we get a little sweet character like pear. This hop is also known as "Tomahawk." Let us know what you think at info@bisonbrew.com Cheers!

(Bottle) Pours a clear orange body with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, light pine, and peach. Flavor of hops, caramel malt, and the sugariness of pear peel with a somewhat bitter finish.

Slightly hazed and amber/orange with a goodly sized head that laces in chunks. The aroma is heavy with sweet caramel and heavier with pine and grapefruit. Nice and snappy, peppery mouthfeel. The caramel backbone is just strong enough to support the serious hop bitterness. Nice prolonged pine, grapefruits, and pepper bitter finish.

Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Pours a clean deep golden hue with a large foamy head and outstanding lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of resiny and herbal hop, wet biscuity grains, dusty yeast esters and a hint of pepper. The taste is bitter and resiny supported by mild pale malts. The finish displays some spice and some soapy off-tone. The mouth feel is moderate lively and refreshing enough, dry metallic finish. Not too shabby and an improvement over the normal IPA but I still think Organic hop are missing that something special.

Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit, pine, resin aroma with some sweet malt backing. Big resiny flavor with grapefruit and pine and just a bit of earthiness to go with the sweet malt backing. Lingering grapefruit and resin. Medium body. Nice bitterness.

Pours amber, good clarity, with a small white head. Citrus grapefruit nose, a bit herbal, with sweet malts notes alongside. Earthy flavors tend to show up, but don’t last long enough to pay rent due to the big bittering hops that scrape the palate. The hops take on a soapy quality in the finish and show more of their pine and herbal qualities and almost a bit of a dusty flavor.
