Hop Valley

I located several varieties in cans from brewery 541-American Lager Alphadelic -IPA (also had in bottle) Double D-Blonde Ale None of the beers blew my socks off, but they were drinkable and something to keep your eyes out for http://www.hopvalleybrewing.com/

Not Quite Pale Ale

Not Quite Pale Ale #9, Magic Hat Brewing-bottles It is a delicious great beer, recommended months ago a couple guys I drank with at a Pub, from the South. The claimed it redeemed east coast and south breweries. Fred Meyer rearranged their beer selection and I found a six pack and bought it. I have been enjoying Pales and IPAs lately so gave it a whirl. I really enjoyed it. A light and smooth beer, with great flavor. The light citrus flavor, with a great hops flavor made it quite drinkable. It took me several beers to realize the flavor that was sneaking in, raspberry. The 5.1% alcohol makes it a great summer beer. I really recommend it
