Description
Spectrum Beer Co. is a gateway craft beer project from Vancouver, B.C., for people. If you’re looking for the hoppy, bitter IPAs or the malty lagers, you might want to look somewhere else.

We think there’s something for everyone in beer, so we’re focusing on fruitier flavours, lighter body profiles and experimental takes on classic beer styles that’ll appeal to wine and cocktail drinkers – but will still appeal to the beer lover, too.

355ml can. Pours a hazy pale yellow with lots of floaties and a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Aroma of pale malt, strawberry and vanilla. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, lactose, strawberry, vanilla and light grapefruit in a mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. It's easy to drink and ok, just not my thing.

Red berry. Clearish dark pink. Red fruit and not very sour. A bit boring and bland.

355ml can. Pours a hazy straw colour with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of lime and sugar. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, lime and sugar in a salty, slightly sour finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. More Margarita than Gose. Not for me.

Draught at Craft Beer Market, Vancouver
Hazy light blond colour. Mild but nice citrus touch, soft mouthfeel, light, dry, with traces of butter.
Timid but not bad.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours a clear reddish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart raspberry juice upfront, with some lemons, and light dry hopping. Flavour is along the same lines, with fresh lemon pummelling the back of the tastebuds, followed by a touch of raspberry, lacto and gentle dry hopping. Not overly deep or complex, but it's reasonably drinkable. Meh.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours an opaque cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle melon-like fruits, some citrus hops and soft biscuity malt. Flavour is quite gentle, with a very nice honeydew and melon character upfront, followed by subdued citrus hops, and a biscuity malt. That melon-like fruit character really comes through without being very potent. It's barely an IPA, but it's really well-executed. Solid stuff.
