Retrospectrum Pale Ale is easy enough to drink every day, yet complex enough to challenge your taste buds every time.
Perfectly balanced with a complex malt body, our hop-forward take on the classic American Pale Ale is exploding with tropical fruit and citrus aromas and flavours, thanks to generous late additions of Citra and Amarillo hops.
Hops: Pahto, Citra, Amarillo, Centennial
Malt: CMC 2 Row, Wheat, Red Shed Rocky Mountain & Biscuit, Carafoam
Yeast: Wyeast 1056 American Ale

473 ml can. Pours gold with full foamy head. Aromas of biscuity malts and very soft faint hops. Flavors follow same; malt forward, almost doughy will a little fruitiness. Clean but boring.

Darkish gold and drops bright. Thin head. Weedy, like really weedy. Harvest time. Pretty good biscuity malt base. Very good.

medium amber color. Apricot and citrusy nose. Nice citrusy and apricot hop notes with crackery malt. Snappy bitterness. Clean. Nice work.

On tap at Cabin, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings dank hops, with lots of citra, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of citra hops, biscuity malt and a bit of dankness. Love the cat piss here. Very good.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lace. Sweet aroma of grainy malt, tropical fruit, orange rind, grapefruit and piney hops. Sweet flavour of cracker malt, pineapple, peach, orange, grapefruit and pine with a dry, mild bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A hoppy, easy drinking, refreshing Pale Ale.
