Our next beer comes from the Golden Valley Brewery here in Oregon. This is my first beer from this brewery.
It pours a deep brown.
The smell is strong malt with some sweetness.
The taste is very sweet. It is a medium body, lighter than I was expecting from the aroma. It is balanced fairly well with the hop. It is a little bitter.
The aftertaste leaves a little sweetness lingering.
The malt is balanced with Chinook, Liberty and Fuggles Hops. It is dry-hopped with Kent Goldings. The hop blend is strong enough to balance the malt heaviness, but the sweetness seems to dominate the beer's more subtle potential.
It is 8.0% with 50 IBU's.
It is available in 12 oz. bottles - I picked mine up from, of course, Belmont Station. My knowledge in the brewery is limited, so I am not sure what their distribution is like.
