Zeal Island Pale Ale

Bison Brewing teamed up with New Brew Thursday, one of the Internet’s most compelling craft beer podcasts, to co-present a homebrew competition. The winner, Andrew Bell (Ratebeer member BMan1113VR), was awarded the opportunity to brew his beer with Bison’s Brewmaster, Dan Del Grande.
Brewed with a blend of the palest malts, an excessive amount of New Zealand organic hops, the alcohol level of a Pale Ale and the hop content of a Double IPA, we are classifying this unique creation a “New Zealand Pale Ale”.
Extremely aromatic from excessive dry-hopping, Zeal Island Pale Ale boasts an intensely tropical nose with hints of passion fruit, grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Very light pale malt flavors and virtually no caramel sweetness allows the bright tropical and citrus notes of the hops to shine through on the palate. Light-bodied and refreshingly crisp with a dry bitter finish, the Zeal Island Pale Ale is perfect on its own as an every day sipper or pairs well with a variety of cuisines. Show Less
