A smooth, hazy pale ale with a nostalgic twist. Bursting with juicy citrus and tropical hop notes, it balances a mellow bitterness with a pillowy, soft finish. Ideal for those who crave a laid-back vibe and smooth yet bold retro flavor.
Sip back, relax, and let Retro Haze take you to a place where the past meets the haze.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance- The beer is served a lightly hazed orange-yellow color with a small white head. The head fades fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma is heaviest of a grapefruit and orange citrus mixed with notes of oatmeal and bread. Along with these comes a touch of herb and some tropical fruits.
Taste - The taste starts with a oat and bread malt mixed with some orange and tangerine. At the same time comes some grapefruit and a touch of herb. As the taste advances the hop fades a touch, while the sweet gets a bit more intense. Toward the end s touch of hay joins in, mixing with the rest to take the taste to its end.
Mouthfeel- The body is moderate in thickness and in carbonation.
Overall- A decent and flavorful brew overall. An easy supper.

12oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange, sweet caramel and resin. Nice orange taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
