Beer Valley Leafer Madness Imperial Pale Ale

Brewed by Beer Valley Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Ontario, Oregon USA

Bomber poured hazy orange. Aroma is a nice fresh hop orange wiith a little bit of pine. Flavor is smooth, not very malty with a bitter finish. A very enjoyable double IPA. I will be getting more of this.

Bomber thanks to kegbear. Pours hazy orange with thick and creamy white head. Aroma is big with orange and grapefruit citrus and resiny piney hops with caramel malts. Flavor is sweet and syrupy with dose of PNW hops, grapefruits and orange citrus with piney notes. Mouthfeel is thick for a IIPA. Beer looks and smells good but is to sweet and syrupy.

22oz bottle, no date purchased from Bottle Barn. Clear orange with a creamy 1 1/2 finger off-white head that lasted the duration. Thick lace covers the entirety of the back of my glass. Orange grapefruity citrus and resiny pine up front with plenty of overly sweet caramel and almost candy sugar notes, and some ETOH in the background. It doesn’t smell bad, but it does smell like it could be a terribly sweet mess. Flavor was still sweet, but thankfully the hops came through for me. Same aforementioned hop flavors--a good amount of orange and grapefruit and pine in the background. Alcohol was also let me know I was drinking a 9% ABV beer. Semi-dry with some alcohol warmth and bitterness peaking around a 4. Full body with moderate carbonation. A fair DIPA--what boosted it so high was the appearance.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear, bright amber; huge white head takes a bit to settle; creamy, sweet citrus hop aromas; almost lemons and grass combined; amazingly smooth texture with bitterness covered until the finish; lots of sugary smooth malts; very nice and quite a contrast against the Alesmith Summer; increasingly bitter and harsh as you get to the bottom of the bottle; on one hand and great beer and at the same time kind of an unusual IIPA

Pours nice hazy orange, with decent head. A fruitier aroma than anticipated, but still laced with a piney hop quality. Very easy on the palate, and the expected bittering hop slam is replaced by a gentle grassy wave, which is both refreshing and tasty. A restrained version of the style, but one which offers balance and drinkability. Very nice

Liked this one a lot. Pours hazy orange with a bubbly white head and lots of lacing. Grapefruit, mango, orange, and passion-fruit in the hoppy aroma. As seems to be the case with all of Beer Valley’s offerings, there is an underlying earthiness in the aroma and taste. Fortunately, it adds to the hop profile in this one. Lots of resin and citrus flavors without the astringent bite. Some biscuit-and-caramel-malt taste that comes with the earthiness. Very nice.

22oz bottle. Nice, hop forward double IPA. Smooth throughout with moderate sweet malt to balance and big bitter finish. Solid for sure.

22-oz bottle received via trade with FlacoAlto. Pours hazy amber with a large, fizzy, off-white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, grain, hay, straw), heavy hops (flowers, grass, pine, grapefruit), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apple and pear. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.
