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.

It’s a SESSION ale, you see. Meaning you are supposed to drink large amounts of it during sessions of conversation, Super Smash Bros Brawl, or drinking. I, personally, since I am so hardcore, use barleywines as session ales. My sessions are pure awesomeness.

Dark amber color......thick head, though it fades a little quicker than expected. Slightly malty aroma. Somewhat bittersweet taste in the front......very crisp mouthfeel. Extremely bitter taste in the back, with a very dry finish.

Beer of the Month Club: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass produced a red-brown body topped with a dark tan head, which mostly diminished. Moderate hops in the aroma, balanced with malt. Medium bitterness with moderate mouthfeel. Burnt grain and hops aftertaste on the palate, with slight notes of malts. Not bad, one of the better beers I received from my Beer of the Month Club.

Beer Club. Poured a dark red color with a nice tan fluffy head. Aroma of malt and a pinch of coffee. Flavor was somewhat rich with malt, coffee and a touch of hops. Good Irish Ale. More flavor then Smithwicks and Sam Adams Irish. Wouldn’t run out and buy a six pack of this but pretty good for what it is.

Bottle from Beer Club. Pours a reddish amber color with a frothy beige head. Citrusy hop aroma that is marked by notes of caramel. Strong roasted malt flavor with some spiciness and some small bit of hops flavor in the finish. I really enjoyed this one.

BoTM, Pours Amber/Red, with a thin off white head. I’m not sure if I’m coming down with something but I couldn’t get a lot of odor from this beer. Generally a good beer, would drink again.

Bottle from Beer Club: Poured a dark amber color with a nice head. The aroma was that of caramel malts and bit of citrus. The taste was much better than expected, with some slight caramel present. A nice slightly hoppy finished makes this beer an excellent find.
