Angeloregon (1516), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 28, 2008 Straw yellow-golden body with a small wispy head. Biscuit malt and funky pils nose. very nice example of the style. blueduk (118), Eugene, Oregon, USA Aug 25, 2006 This beer pours hazy straw-colored with a medium white head. Only decent retention and lace (like more in a pils).
Saaz aromas leap out on first sniff, but tragically disappear after a few minutes. I’ve had this problem before with GV - really nice aromas that only last a few minutes. The malts then develop in the nose.
Red Hills Pils is full-bodied and a little bitter for the style, with some hops in the finish as well. The main flavors are pale malts and a little bit of acidity. The first whiff was very promising, and the beer turned out to be very average. linc33 (136), Albany, New York, USA Jul 2, 2006 On tap at Golden Valley Brewery. Pale yellow. Labatt with a slightly more complex flavour. Nothing more to say about it. BrewDad (1535), Olympia, Washington, USA Jun 26, 2006 [Tap – Brewery]
This off reddish colored beer with a good nose was a great start finally. It was a easy to drink session beer and this was true so far for all Golden Valley brews. Crisp and had a slight bitterness this was becoming something. Good Job.
harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jan 2, 2006 This would be another great beer that I could just drink constantly as a session beer. A rich take on the style, with a nice body that is just enough of all its components that you do not get bored drinking it. The only things that got me was a bit of a cheesy pepper bite that came up from time to time in the finish. Otherwise very light, crips and refrshing
