does it smell sweet? if it does than its coolant.

otherwise i would stick with condensation and not worry about it unless a major problem develops.

on a hill it would make more sense because the muffler traps a lot of water, and on the hill it gives it more of a chance to be taken away with passing exhaust gases/heat. generally in a few minutes time it goes away.

all of my cars (all mercedes) at school do this on 60 degree mornings (im in FL right now) when theyre in open loop because most of them are constantly starting/stopping and idling all day long.
