Because, in addition to being a Real Place, Happy Valley is also a State of Mind.
The Happy Valley we all know and love rests in the sheltering shade of
Mount Nittany as it rises majestically to meet the blue and white sky.
But in a larger sense, Happy Valley is Any Place we gather to remember the
old times and celebrate the good times with our friends and families.
We invite you to revisit your own personal Happy Valley by drinking this beer,
lovingly hand-crafted for your enjoyment by Head Brewer, Josh Davies.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a medium amber color with a medium sized creamy white head that left great lacing. The aroma was bitter, tangy and vaguely fruity with a bit of piney and floral hops. The flavor was strong bitter grapefruit and lemon with a dry middle followed by perfume and seemed thin. Long hoppy finish. Thin body. Meh.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a very pale yellow color with a small foamy white head that faded quickly but left decent lacing. The aroma was faintly malty with a touch of cracker and lemon. The flavor was bitter lemon, a hint of perfume, a bit of sour mash and pepper. Medium length bitter lemon and sour mash finish. Medium body. Disappointing.
