The brewery is just down the street and I’ve never been in there till recently and their Pale Ale is rather good.

Semi hazy amber. Creamy off white head. Steady carbonation. Piney hop aroma with caramel and light toasted malts. Crisp. Citric yet sweet, bitter yet with burnt caramel notes. Solid lacing. Turns mellower as it sits. Nice overall flavor, kinda ESB-ish if not for the Pac NW hops. A decent pale ale. Not eccentric like their other brews.

Re-Rate 01/20/02: Pours a nice deep clear brown color, big tan head, and generous lace. Nose starts malt, sweet, slightly fruity. Sweet malts to start, very thin middle, but a nice hop bite at the weakish finish, just can’t get anything out of this brew.

Has the milder hop character of an East coast pale, so Sierra fans will probably not dig this. I found it very easy-going and drinkable. Nothing special but nothing bad.

Nice medium brown with a reddish tint, mild floral aroma with a touch of fruit, snappy bite, a bit of wetness but enough lingering body. Like I say about alot of Bison’s brews -- odd but very nice.
