Description
At Hudson Valley Brewery, we like to think of our beer as the product of a wide variety of influences. Like the Hudson Valley itself, we believe the beers we create stand somewhere between the rural and the urban, the traditional and the modern, the rustic and the industrial. Our brewing techniques are inspired by the brewing practices of traditional European breweries as well as the more aggressive, experimental practices of American breweries. We brew the beer we love to drink, which like the Hudson Valley itself, is always changing.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky orange to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to tropical fruity to lemony hops with a low key biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to blend bittersweet with a light finish of lemon to tropical fruity character
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, fairly mobile along the tongue (not watery, not smooth, not dry, not astringent, just moves like beer)
Overall: good AIPA I could return to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: dark brown in the pour but closer to black in the glass with a two and a half fingers of off white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark bread, dark fruits, earthy, sweet ash, and some caramel/tofffee character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sweet bready and toasty manner; finishes dark bready and earthy
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this, fair smoothness along the tongue but also some earthy edges slightly digging in on the tongue
Overall: I say nicely done dark lager I'd be willing to come back to.

Can to becher.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a one finger khaki foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts, light tones of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and some figs
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas nice and semi-sweet with a mild roasty hint then a mild finish of roasted coffee and dark chocolate.
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some coffee grit which was more or less just noticeable
Overall: a very nicely done porter I would be willing to come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit tones, lemon zest and sweet freshly cut grass mix with some vanilla to milk sugar character
Flavor: blends the tart to the sweet of the prior noted aromas then a light zesty citrusy aspect, finishes with the passion fruit and vanilla/milk sugar character
Texture: medium bodied, between being a sipper and being sessionable, pretty smooth and creamy by pummeling any tart harshness on the tongue
Overall: good pastry sour ale but the funny thing is there's not exactly any true "sour" component to this beer, at least for me. Maybe some day we're gonna start calling these beers "pastry tart ales," or something like that.

Tap at Ambadada. Murky purple body, big pinkish head, hard to pour. Beautiful blueberry aroma, low malty/candy notes. Dry, soooour blueberry taste, bit candyish, veeery well hidden alcohol. What the IPA part of it is, I do not know, but this is some tasty stuff!

Can poured into English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a one finger khaki head. Dissipated finely to leave some concave sliding lace.
Aroma: deep rich dark malts, roasty & toasty, sweet ash, sweet cream, coffee tones, sweet earthy and cocoa powder
Flavor: lovely balance of sweet ash & toastiness to the roasty tones and earthy extras; mild aftertaste of cocoa powder, rich malts and sweet ash
Texture: about medium bodied, perhaps a touch under, sessionable to being a partial sipper, just a wee bit under from being cloying, finishes with sweet cream, sweet ash and dry cocoa powder
Overall: I'd say a very nice milk/sweet stout for a dessert beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: brushed dark yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head dissipating delicately to leave some messy lace
Aroma: grassy and citrusy hops balancing in some slight dry lemon rind bitterness
Flavor: sweet then bittersweet as it warms running through a blend of the aromas; delicate grassy and citrusy aftertaste
Texture: just a bit under medium bodied, somewhat a sipper due to the amount of dryness on my tongue, finishes with a brisk grassy to citrusy contour
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA worthy of returning to.

Tap at Drinkøteka. Hazy orange-golden body, thick off-white head. Very peachy sweetish aroma on lactic notes, some perfumey hoppy vibes, bit grainy. Sweetish-sourish peach-driven taste backed by well integrated lactic acid, bit salty, low low low hoppy traces. Well made, one can feel it's better hopped sour, but a sour IPA is a bit of a stretch. Good, not fantastic.

On tap at Ambasada Zagreb. Pale red coloured, small off-white head, blackberry in the nose. Blackberry, berries, light fruity and some acidity with touch of spices in the finish. Pleasant and refreshing, no trace of 8.0%ABV.

Draught at the brewery, vibrant deepish orange colour, aroma of minerals a bit of onion and citrus, flavor of citrus and apricot, and a a sweetish fruit Popsicle note. Mellow medium bitterness. Nice and highly enjoyable.
