If you couldn't tell, Bison Gingerbread is a holiday/Christmas beer, that I'm finally getting around to drinking here in early April. No special occasion, just wanted to have a beer with my dinner.
The beer poured a very dark brown into a pilsner glass. Cappuccino colored head, about a finger worth. Light retention, decent lacing. Aromas of gingerbread stand out the most, per the name, which is a good thing. I could also discern some coffee and cinnamon notes.
The taste is mostly roasted malts, with some spice characteristics added in. It's a little disappointing that it's not as complex. No bitter finish. Light bodied, maybe even a little watery. Moderate to high carbonation which was actually offputting for this type of beer. This might qualify as a decent holiday brew, but I've certainly had better. I wonder if it has anything to do with being organic. Agree, disagree? Let me know!
Grade: C-
Price Paid: $2.19 (12 oz bottle)
