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.

Pleasent beer, like a beerish ice coffee with lots of vanilla. Has some notes of milk chocolate as well, but mostly coffee vanilla that has a surprising bitter aftertaste. Good beer.

12 oz. bottle from De Bierkoning @ home. Amber color, hazy. Off white head with little retention. Aroma’s: strong resin at first, mellowing a bit later, citrus (peel), light malty sweetness. Retronasal there’s hop bitterness, citruspeel, grapefruit juice, less resin. Flavor is bitter with light sweetness and light citrussy sourness. Medium bodied. Finishes somewhat dry and long lasting bitter. Lovely and very refreshing.

Pours clear orange with a smooth head. Aroma of resinous hops, grass, pine, citrus and crisp malts. Taste is resinous hoppy, grassy and piney with some crisp maltiness and sweetish notes. Finish is crisp, bitter and resinous with some piney hops, herbal notes and citrus. A pretty typical, but tasty west coast IPA

65 cl bottle @ olio
Aroma is sweet and somewhat heavy with pineapples and tropical fruits. Also hints of caramel. Flavour has tropical fruits, aggressive hops, grapefruit and gooseberry bush. A bit unpleasant finish with harshly bitter herbal hops. Decent.

35,5 cl bottle @ olio
Aroma has lots of hops, tropical fruits and pineapples. Also hints of grapefruit. Feels sweet. Flavour has lots of hops, grapefruit, some citrus, pineapples and distant gluey notes. Finishes somewhat dry with alcohol in the background that gets stronger towards the end of the glass. Perhaps it would be better hidden if drank even cooler.

35,5 cl bottle @ hotel room, Amsterdam
Aroma has fruity hops, peaches and caramel. Flavour has gluey tones, gooseberry bush leaves, grapefruit, caramel and tropical fruits. Also some biscuits. Finishes with lingering hops and herbal bitterness. The hop profile is not a perfect match with my taste buds – it feels bitter in a harsh way.

Bottle shared. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of light roast, chocolate and vanilla. Flavour is over moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. A little watery in the mouthfeel. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
