Commercial Description:
Ale brewed with wormwood, goji berries, and schisandra. Deftly, this spring brewed venture lands on its feet. Springboard combines oats, ancient Chinese herbs and Mt. Hood hops to maintain a balanced equilibrium for such an exhilarating ale. This cloudy blonde has a spirited threshold, and a creamy body, followed by a refreshingly dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of malt, cloves, citrus and grains. Taste is sweet of malt, fruits and herbs. Finish is dry and slightly bitter.

musty nose--earthiness and berries; hazy, yellow-straw body with a white and frothy, soapy head; thin, but creamy and smooth palate; common, lager-like flavor although different--like a spicy wheat, but with different spices; actually, i liked it.

12 oz bottles from E st. Liquor. Poured as a hazed glowing yellow with a firm layer of head and a wicked amount of lacing left behind. The nose was a soapy aroma of spices and fruits such as coriander, orange peel, and green herb. The flavor was more or less the same with no key stand out.

355 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy straw yellow with an aggressive white clinging head. Sweet lemony nose with a touch of bready funk. Medium to light body. Mix of a fruity/malty base with a slight hop edge. Slightly tart, dry finish.

Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of sweet malt, citrus, and dry chow mein noodles. Flavor is sweet malt and citrus, then a slight stingy bitter hop. Asian flavors are an afterthought. Nothing amazing but highly drinkable. Maybe with some spicy asian dishes?

Lightly foggy gold, thin white head. (Looks like a Berliner Weisse) Aroma is lightly fruity, whole oats, light maltiness, and light alcohol showing very faintly. Taste is lightly malty, very light fruit, not too complicated. Not a great beer, but good for what it is, and I could definantly see myself drinking this while snow skiing.

This is my favorite spring beer ever, I go to a bar regularly and where im from we can’t get this so it was smuggled in. It’s so crisp and refreshing, you can drink it non-stop, I only wish to be able to get it regularly here. Great beer
