Description
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.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is crackery, wheat, floury bread, straw, light spice, citrus peel and some green. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, then softens, touch of spice, citrus peel, floury bread, wheat, cracker, grass, green banana and some minerality. Finish is dry. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Simple, yet effective. Balanced and very drinkable indeed.

Can (3/11/20) pour from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is opaque black (dark brown at the bottom of the glass) with lots of bubbles and sparkle at the edges of the glass with 3-finger foamy beige head with fair retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee (bordering on char) and milder chocolate. Taste follows aroma but bitter coffee is lower, and chocolate higher, in the mix; earthy roasted malts and mild lactose as well. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste with lasting roasted bitterness. Overall, pretty decent but not much complexity in the aroma and bordering on char.

Can from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours hazy golden with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and bright, juicy, tangy ripe pineapple, pine needles, wet grass, fruit cocktail, lychee band melon. The taste is crisp, dry, piney bitterness, a touch green, fresh and juicy, soft smooth fruity action, fruit cocktail, pineapple, stone fruits, citrus zing, gummy bears and a nip of peppery spice with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Really tasty stuff. Piney and fruity. Good gear.

Looks like this might be a series. Can from Uptown. Pours a hazy orange hue with almost no head. A big citrus nose. Tart berries, lemons, husky grains, vanilla. Raw. Decent, not the smoothest.
