About
We are the incredible result of what happens when brewers wonder “what if” and pursue that curiosity to its fullest. We created Springdale to push the limits of fermentation and explore flavors with the hope of creating bold new beers to share with our friends. That’s why we launched with the largest barrel program in Massachusetts. Over 1300 barrels currently sit in our taproom working their slow magic on beautiful beers. But that wasn’t enough for us. Next we dove into IPAs, traditional European beers with new twists, and fruit-forward kettle sours. All of these were created to explore fermentation forward beers and find new ways to share them with you.

We arrived at this pursuit in a unique way as well. The brewers of Jack’s Abby had been cultivating killer craft lagers for years before we launched, but found themselves wanting to push the limits of beer far beyond their core, traditional lagers. That left them with only one choice – start a whole new brand. That curiosity and willingness to take risks is what launched Springdale. The quality and expertise in this brewery is what drives Springdale.

Taster pour at Total Wine & More, Danvers. Appearance is clear yellow/light brown with thin ring of white head, nice sparkle. Aroma is tart fruit and yeast. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light bodied with soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, true to the style--nothing particularly noteworthy nor anything deficient.

Can. Ugly turbid appearance. Citrus right upfront with pine coming in the backend. Pine bitterness comes in strong and aggressive. Punch you in the mouth pine resin finish Not feeling the hop combo at all. This is a complete swing and a miss for me.

Draught at Napper Tandys Rozzie, 12/30/18.
Some clarity to this otherwise espresso bean colored stout with a rapidly dissipating, light tan head.
Nose is the expected milk chocolate, fudge and espresso bean with low lactose character and low fruitiness (prune, raisin, plum) in general. More of the chocolate-caramel-fudge-vanilla here. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, watery even, with low carbonation and a soft, velvety texture. Sweet, not intensely so, with no syrup or thick fudge. Maple, caramel, fudge, milk chocolate and light-to-moderate roast give a pretty standard rendition of the sweet stout without much lactose presence. Low on the dark fruits. The carbonation was super low and the texture loose and watery, but otherwise this was pretty solid.

Canned 11/6/18, 12/19/18.
Clear brass. White head to nothing.
Mosaicy nose is lightly vegetal a bit piney. Pretty vague. Malt shows white bread and maybe some oxidation. Orange and nectarine...
Thin, watery, lightly oxidized. The can was slightly deflated. It's clean and fruity. Lightly melony. Attenuated properly. Low carbonation, as well, too much so. Must have been a very small leak.

Draught at Ginger Man, 12/7/18.
Moderately hazy, though nowhere near soupy, dull brass-blonde with a hint of peach hue and a smattering of white head that quickly recedes to a cover.
Lightly juicy and with strong British yeast overtones of heavy fruit ester and light bubble gum. Heavy cracker-like malts with high attenuation, it seems. Lemon, pineapple and very light mango are fruity and mild with medium aromatics overall. It's clean and not overdone on any resin, but it's a bit heavy on the cracker and yeast.
In the mouth it's dry with grain and bread, big yeast character and lightly fruity hops featuring mango, pineapple, tangerine and lemon. No sweetness whatsoever and tons of cracker with good hop flavors yet no real depth or juiciness to it. Clean, though with no alcohol or resin.
