Springdale IPA
Springdale Beer Co.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden color with a two finger height head of foam. The head has a good level of retention, with it fading slowly over time and leaving some lace streaks on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strongest of a grapefruit hop and some cracker malt and caramel smells mixed with a touch of grape. Other aromas an earthy smell and some light herbal hop, with a hint of orange are there a well.
Taste – The taste starts with a drier cracker malt flavor mixed with a decent showing of grapefruit and herbal hop. There are also some light sweet tastes of grape and orange, as well as a touch of lemon. As the taste advances there is a bit of breadiness and some light lemon that develop. Toward the end there are some flavors of a earthy hop that surge quite a bit in intensity, and with a bit of loss of some of cracker and some paper and pine, one is left with a somewhat odd stale taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is moderate in thickness and carbonation, being rather decent for the flavors overall.
Overall - Nothing too great here. The aftertaste sorta takes it down a notch. Not one I will go back to again.

 

I tried this beer off the tapper at Cheeky Monkey right across the street from Fenway in Boston. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had subtle melon and citrus fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with citrus fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a cloudy golden body beneath an average sized head of white foam. I'm a little surprised that it's so cloudy; it looks like a hefeweizen. I'd question whether it's a New England style IPA except that I can smell that it's not. That's not to say that it doesn't smell good, it does, but it's not a bold aroma. It's citrusy with orange and lemon, otherwise tropical with some pineapple, and a little bit piney. On to the taste... it's balanced between malt and hops. The malt is basic, gently sweet, and just subtly biscuity. The hops, as you might have already guessed, are like those found in the nose.It's a little juicier than you might expect, and a touch "dank" as well. It's not a bitter IPA, and remains nicely balanced throughout, leading to an easy, dry finish with a soft touch of everything lingering for a moment. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp. As I'd originally thought, this is just a solid, everyday drinking IPA that would go perfectly fine almost anywhere.
Review #7,363

Pours a relatively clear golden color with an Oscar winning head. Bright aroma of hops, melon, citrus pops right out when it's poured. A bit of pine and a slight sourness - I think if they would have gone west coast IPA with this it would have been pretty damn good. It tries to be be a marriage between west and east coast styles and I think that muddies the water a bit. Still a good beer, but not something I would likely seek out.

 

 

From a can dated 07/01/20. Sampled on Nov 7, 2020.

The appearance is light amber yellow with a modest white head.

The aromas are floral, fruity with a notable melon presence. Biscuit background.

Light-medium mouthfeel.

The taste lends itself to be more fruity than anything else similar to what I got in the aroma. Mild fruity finish too.

 

L: Hazy deep gold
S: Sweet orange, mango
T: orange peel, lemon, sweet and weedy,
F: light carbonation, light stickiness

 

 

 

 

16oz canned on 04/11/2020. Hopped with Citra, Sultana, Amarillo, and Galaxy. 6.2% ABV. Sample from the brewery.

Unfiltered, slightly hazy, golden beer with orange hues and a fluffy and clumpy head that sticks. Citrus and stone fruit aromas. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Quite fruity upfront with mango, pineapple, orange, and tangy nectarine. Bitter, green, citrus rinds, and herbal in the middle with some dankness, pine, and resiny stick on the palate. Finishes bready with some apple and earthy notes.

Soft. Fruity. Bitter. Dank. I really dig this bi-coastal IPA mashup.

 

Pours slightly hazy, pale orange-gold in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is tangerine, herbal hops, and white sugary sweetness. This white sugar taste is what separates this from an otherwise average hoppy beer base. It adds to the flavor in the way that I think Tree House's Super Treat is unique. Medium bodied, sweetish with high carbonation. Might be my favorite Springdale beer. Will get this again.
