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 at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy dark copper / amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very light, barely anything there, with just some mild spices - not much else. Flavour is sort of cidery, with apple spices, some winter / Xmas spices, but not much else. Extremely light-bodied, with a very light apple / spicy tone. Not bad, quite uninteresting.

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy golden with a small beige head. Aroma of piney and citrusy hops, and just enough crackery malts. Flavour is robustly hoppy, with loads of piney and resinous hops, and a moderate biscuit malt backbone that doesn't lend any flavour. Unadventurous, but remarkably well-made IPA. Great stuff.

Silly name, but good beer. It’s not Pilsner Urquell unfiltered, but what is? Golden straw pour with white head. Good lawny aroma. Lekker flavour, thirst quenching and refreshing.

Draught. Pours pale yellow, medium head much lacing. Not much aroma, just a little grass. Well balanced flavour malt and hops, with the right amount of sweetness and bitterness. Lekker finish. Good on a hot day.

On tap at Saraveza's IIPA Fest, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is quite piney hop-heavy, with very slightly tropical fruitiness, candied sugar and caramel malt sweetness - quite balanced. Flavour is absurdly hoppy, with truckloads of resinous hops, some tropical fruit sweetness, lots of sweetness actually despite the high hoppiness. Not harshly bitter yet insanely hoppy. Most excellent palate scorcher.

Draught @ Hawthorne Hophouse. Rated on 11.07.2012
Aroma has roasted malt, coffee and vanilla that overrides the two previous. Flavour is dry with vanilla, some coffee and hints of chocolate. A bit weird but nice.

Smells like a mead, looks like lager, tastes like a pale ale. Honey aroma over a orange yellow, and very pale orange body. Restrained hop flavour with stripes of malty and honey sweetness.
