Springdale Beer Co.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that has good retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of stone fruit are present in the nose along with hints of tangerines.
T: The taste has flavors of stone fruit and tangerine citrus with faint hints of grapefruit. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and a little juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This New England IPA isn't nearly as fruity and juicy compared to others in the style but it does a good job at exhibiting aromas and flavors of stone fruit.

Serving type: can

Ample, rocky head. Good chunky, spotty lace. Darker gold color with a definitive cloud.

The initial smell is appealing with a fresh balanced combination of lighter malt and floral hop. Subsequent smells turn darker with earthy tones and alcohol coming forward. The first part I like; the second part, not so much.

The flavor starts off unusual. It's creamy, lightly sour, with an overtone of malt ball sweetness. Blindfolded, I would expect the beer to be far darker, maybe even a brown ale. It then morphs into a more traditional IPA with the lighter malt and a bouquet of hop bitterness. Rich bodied with an elevated carbonation. Overall, I like the complexity and the unusual flavors.

-orange-amber can pour with a deep haze and a 1 cm foam cap. The aroma is light and tropical. The flavors include orange and resin with moderate hop bitterness. The finish is somewhat dry.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Kappy's in Norwell for about fourteen dollars. Have had a couple of brews from these guys before. Not a big fan of this, something just off with the taste.

 

 

 

 

Medium-gold color and faintly hazy with a coupla fingers of white head... Aromas of floral and dank citrus intermingle, followed by a blend of pine, dark citrus rind, marmalade, melon, and eucalyptus on the sip... Moderate bitterness, mild sweetness, and modest carbonation; smooth feeling with just a little stickiness on the finish... Compelling flavor profile and finish... 10/1/18 canning...

If you haven't tried the unique beers from Springdale, by all means go find some. This is beer on a very high level indeed. Far from the hazy IPAs that are now all the rage throughout New England (although you can find then here if you desire), these are sophisticated creations, brimming with hops, malt, wood and citrus. These are extraordinary beers and you owe it you yourself to sample them. Bravo.

Pour: in a Spiegelau IPA glass- a cloudy honey color with a 4F head.

Aroma: sweet, melon, dank,interesting combo.

MF: smooth, average body.

Taste: lots of citrus, citrus rind, some melon, sweet.

Palate: tangy, spicy, hoppy.

I really enjoyed this IPA. Interesting combo of dank, sweet, melon and citrus.
