Commercial Description:
Our flagship, this Irish-Style Red Ale proudly won a gold medal at the 2000 World Beer Cup. A combination of 5 different malts and 3 hop varietals, carefully blended, results in a perfect balance. Full-flavored and medium-bodied, the Riptide Red provides surprising complexity for such an easy-drinking brew.

Pours a nice amber red into a shaker. Off-white head with excellent retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to layer surface. Caramel malt aromas. Smooth caramel upfront which transforms to a slightly sour chalk finish.

Slight caramel aroma, not much else. Deep copper color with little carbonation and tan head. Enjoyable balanced taste at first, then a weird chalky taste, then finishes nicely bitter. Not a whole lot memorable that’s good.

Bottle. Diactyl bomb! The diactyl is so strong in the aroma it was really tough to choke it down. Flavor is malty with diactyl again being dominant.

Bottle from shipyard brewery. Deep red color with hoppy flavor. Cream color head. Not a well rounded beer in my opinion. Go for the old thumper.

bit of a sweet grainy malt aroma, has a good grainy malt flavor, virtually no aftertaste, pretty smooth brew, not too bad.
