New Belgium Springboard Ale

Bottle, thin white head that dissipates quickly. Carbonated. Very light yellow, almost clear color. Lightly hoppy aroma, taste is a bit muddled but nice and crisp. Nice summer beer.

Pours yellow with white head. Light woody hop aroma. Flavor is malty with a hint of wheat and hops. Below average.

This was a very complex beer that turned out to be surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink. There are alot of flavors going on and it is hard to determine what they all are, Aparently there is wormwood ans some other crazy shit in here, but it is actually quite good. I believe that there should only ever be hops, grain, water, and yeast in a good beer, but this is going to have to be my first exception to that rule. I would highly recommend trying this beer atleast once. It is truly interesting!

12 oz bottle. Nutty aroma and taste up front, with too much of a malty finish for me. There is a citrus tang, but I can’t detect the berries. Thin-to-medium head and active carbonation adds to the pale hazy gold color. Too boring.

There’s a lot of elements to this one, but they didn’t mesh well for me. It just seems like something isn’t quite right, though it is hard to pinpoint exactly what it is.

Had this on tap at a Steak Restaurant last night, it went well with the sirloin. Appearance- Cloudy, yellow, thin head Aroma- Nice, light hop aroma. Citrusy. Taste- Has that signature New Belgium nutty malty flavor, but it’s not as prominant as some of their beers. There is a great balance with the malt and the citrus hop character. Mouthfeel- Tangy, tastes like wheat. Drinkability- easy. Try to get this beer on tap, it’s pretty good.

I agree that there’s a lot going on in this beer, and can at times be a bit much. The smell is fantastic. Crack one open and get a sweet whiff of flowers, sugar, citrus, and it seems like a little nutmeg. The taste leans toward citrus, and that nutmeg flavor keeps coming to mind, I might be mistaken on that though. Bubbly as a soda, and easy to drink. Great summer pool beer.

Didn’t like this one all that much... there are a lot of random flavors in this beer. It didn’t seem focused and had a lot of random flavors... earthy, hoppy, slight citrus, and even some spice. 12 oz. bottle.
