Description
Four lifelong Oregonians got together on February 13, 2009 and decided that their knowledge of locale and understanding of craft beer could be an excellent starting point for a business. Later that year Hop Valley Brewing had its debut in Springfield, Oregon, but grew too large for its 15-barrel capacity and opened a new 60-barrel brewhouse and taproom in Eugene in 2013. In July 2016 MillerCoors acquired a majority stake of Hop Valley through its Tenth and Blake craft beer and import division. Hop Valley Brewing Company will operate as a separate business unit of Tenth and Blake.

Can from the $1 bargain shelf, LoL. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a foamy fading head. Nor much nose on this one. First taste is certainly IPA but it almost has a tad of fruity attribute in it. At first, I thought it wasn't as strong as most IPA but towards the middle it starts to take its effect. During the session I notice it's a little cleaner on the palate than most IPA, not as mouth coating. It even has a bit more co2 in it too. Still, no olfactory to speak of. Towards the finish the hop bitterness builds to the end but never really gets totally annoying like most IPA I've sampled. This is a little more acceptable than most IPA and I've tasted APA that were more hoppy than this but still is an IPA, one bitter bastard, LoL.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is piney and crisp, with piney hops, cereal graininess, and crisp biscuity malt. Gentle and clean but not particularly well-hopped. Decent.

On tap at Colorado +49. Pours a clear, golden color, with a medium, foamy, off-white head. The aroma is orange peel, hay, almonds, rose water, and resin. Sweet and malty, with a fair, sticky bitterness. Light to medium body, crisp, and phenolic. Not great, but reasonable.

The aromas in the can are resin and mj hops. In the glass add in some metallic. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose losing the metallic and adding some citrus. Decent balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Better than anticipated.

My 12 oz can came from a Total Wine I’m fairly certain, which one I cannot recall. It is an unusual, misty, rainy kind of day we don’t see often in the desert. Time to open this IPA and tilt into my Buffalo Bayou tulip glass. I determine a gold-orange body with a top of quickly receding, creamy white foam. The smell is a decent combination of pine, fruit and hops. The taste is pretty straightforward, not bad at all. Light cedar, pineapple, a hint of mango, some reefer influence, lemon, malt and a small bitterness completing. A pleasant drink.
