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.

I was more impressed with what it was brewed with more than anything. It is decent, and I am glad I tried it out. Nothing special, though.

Another brew courtesy of some kind of phriends: Pours a bright golden colour, not too cloudy. Aroma is sweet and enticing, noticeable wheat and ripe gojis which i loved- Taste was smooth, light and creamy with nice berry character, semi sweet wheat and tropical tones. Awesome beer :)

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Cloudy yellow colored brew. Spicy and herbal aroma. Flavor is herbal and grassy, spicy and sweet malty touch. Interesting.

bb 06June08. Smokestack chalice. Aroma is very herbal, light citrus, toasty/cracker-like, honey. Gold colored with a smallish head. Taste is toasty, herbal, with touch of vanilla. A little tannic, with a full mouthfeel, but a dry finish. An interesting beer, to be sure. The first time I had something about the beer turned me off greatly, but it seems the one aspect of the beer that I disagreed with is no longer something that bother me.

pous a hazy yellow color with large head. slight sour citrus in the noise, some spices. wormwood is not evident in the nose or taste. slight woody flavor may be due to the oak aging. not bad, but I wonder what the purpose was. I can’t think that this sells that much.
