Brewery: Golden Valley Brewing and Pub – McMinnville, OR
Brewery IG: @GoldenValleyBrewery
———————————–
Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Very enjoyable and tasty IPA. My first from Golden Valley but it’s a good one. Super solid West coast IPA that I’d certainly pick up again. Not bitter but good hop flavor, unfiltered, and not malty.
Bottle Art: nice background art (block print style) and very clean layout. The gold trim is a very nice touch which helps it stand out on the shelf.
Drinkage: Drank fresh.

Brewery: Great Notion – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @greatnotionpdx

Rating: 4/5
Notes: That is what an orange creamsicle tastes like if you were to melt it into liquid and drink it. Almost exactly. It’s a great beer but a little heavy on the lactose for me. Sweet and enjoyable.
Can Art: Always a cool block print design but nothing new in terms of new design. This is the default can template/design.

Brewery: Level Beer – Portland, OR
Brewery IG: @levelbeer
———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: Great showing from Level again. Always solid beers from Level. This one was a little on the dry side which I like. Sweet beers can be a bit much especially one after another so it’s nice to see a solid, dry’ish, hazy with some good tropical flavor. I’m getting some melon in there but there’s certainly more I can’t pick out.
Can Art: Sick. Taking me back to the good old days of cheesy board games growing up but in reality, I still play cheesy board games all the time.
Drinkage: I drank this one fresh but not sure how many days after canning. I’ll start keeping track in the future.

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Another great hazy beer from Great Notion. This one has a unique hop flavor and is certainly different than many other hazies that they put out. A little sweet but not too much. Very hoppy and thick.
Can Art: Always a cool block print design but nothing new in terms of new design. This is the default can template/design.
