    Name – Bison Organic IPA
    Country – United States
    Type – American IPA

    Appearance – Poured a clear copper color with a small white head that disappeared quickly but did leave some lacing.

    Smell – Floral hops with some citrus hints to it.

    Taste – A nice mix of floral and citrus hops up front followed by a caramel like malty taste in the back.

    I’ve been told by many to give Bison Chocolate Stout a try but can not find it here.  This one is pretty easy to get your hands on so I gave it a whirl.  It wasn’t bad.  It’s actually a pretty straight forward IPA with good hop and malt balance in it.

    Overall Grade – B-

    Name – Northern Lights
    Country – United States
    Type – American IPA

    Appearance – Pours a cloudy copper color with a big white head that left some lacing on the glass.

    Smell – Faint floral and pine hop smell.  Slight citrus smell there too.

    Taste – Very dry floral hop taste with a little bit of citrus in there.  The hop taste lingers for a good while leaving the mouth very dry.

    This is my first beer from Starr Hill Brewery since they arrived here in South Florida.  The smell was quite faint and the taste just lingers around for quite awhile.  It’s like a good 5 minutes before it is completely gone.  It was an alright brew.  I look forward to trying their other stuff but my not come back to the IPA

    Overall Grade – C

    Name – Anchor Liberty Ale
    Country – United States
    Type – American Pale Ale

    Appearance – Poured a slightly hazy bright orange color with a nice white head.

    Smell – Very distinct smell.  It’s a sweet hoppy aroma that is citrus like but also a bit floral.

    Taste – Sweet hop taste.  There is citrus there but I really pick up this sugary taste to it.  Kind of like bubblegum.  Very different from any other beers I’ve had thus far.

    I really enjoy Anchor.  They make good straight forward beers and then this one comes in a little different from the norm.  A sweet candy like taste makes it different from most PAs I have had before.  Very enjoyable and I’m very happy I decided to actually go for a sixer on this.

    Overall Grade – B
