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.

On Tap Dull orange light amber with just a thin skin of of white bubbles. Non descript very light malt aroma. Some fruity hop character, and yes, a littel of the orange comes through. A nice touch that saves this from sub par. so....par

Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of wheat, malt and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy wheat, bready malt and banana. The finish is fruity and wheaty. Decent overall.
