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.

Taster pour on tap at NH Brewfest. Appearance is very, very dark brown with no sparkle, thin, light brown head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is bourbon, dark fruit, mild chocolate. Taste is earthy roasted malts, light sweet and tart fruit and boozy second half, though not identifiably strong bourbon. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good but not stellar. Not sure I like this as much as regular Brigadeiro.

16 oz can dated 10/1/19, consumed 11/22/19, purchased at Joe Canal's. Slightly hazed golden-orange, foamy white head, light spotty lace. Juicy peach, mango, and some pine. Thins out a bit on the flavor and body. Feels like the hops were late and didn't stick around much. Clean, light dry. Surprised the ABV is as high as it is considering the lighter body. Good, but not top notch.

Quite hazy, golden coloured body with a dense, three centimetre tall tan head that show a great microfoam that stays afloat for a long time, but the gold haze is great as well. Aroma of grass, light pine, flowers and a soft, but noticeable hop backbone and some light astringent alcohol. Medium-bodied; Deep hoppy flavours at first with a decidedly citrus and floral bite showing some pepper and dry notes, but a strong malt balance with a light sweetness from fruit at the end make this go down pretty easily, but the complexity is still nice! Aftertaste shows a good bitterness with the hops starting out and leaving a nice grassy bite with a dash of flowers, but much more citrus and fruit notes, including sweetness that make this truly shine as a New England IPA. Overall, a nice beer that hits all the right notes and still is relatively easy-drinking and full of flavour. Great to try and well recommended for those who like any of the IPA styles, but especially those who fancy New England IPAs. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$3,99 sampled at home in Washington on 19-September-2019.
