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 found this beer a nice change of pace for NBB. I really liked the flavors that this beer gives, along with the great nose. I found it easy to drink on these warmer spring days here in Colorado where we still have a little nip in the air. Nice sourness with a dry finish. Well done.

A yellow pour with creamy white head and lace. Aroma not bad but nothing really stands out. Good bitter with some breadiness and I think oak? Foamy and medium bodied but not bad at all.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow golden color with a small frothy white head. The aroma is a sour wheat and light malt. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a hoppy citrus and spice with a dry finish. A decent herb brew from New Belgium.

Hazy yellow colour with medium head,aroma is slight sour and spicy.I really like this beer with some odd berries like goji and schisandra gives this beer a summer fresh taste.

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.
