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.

Bottled. Dark red. Roasty. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Lacking in flavour and body, there’s some roasty cereals but not much else.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) On the label credited to Shipyard Brewing Company. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish and slightly nutty aroma. Medium body with sweetish roasted malt, nuts and burned caramel. Also a slight touch of sweet licorice. Very subdued bitterness. An easy drink. 210908

This beer rocks. The commercial description and descriptions of other members will have to suffice as I took no notes while enjoying this brew at the Brickskeller in D.C. However, if you enjoy other Irish Ales that I have rated highly. You will not be disappointed with this one.

Bottled. Dark brownish-red body, luscious creamy lasting head. Nose is great, strongly hoppy and grapefruity but with some maltiness to keep from overwhelming you. Decent flavor, with hints of chocolate and citrus, but not that strong or distinctive. Slightly thinnish on the back end, with ok hop presence to finish. Started out so well... but still a good effort.

Red-golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is slightly fruity with caramel, actually more like fruit-caramels. The flavour has the same fruit-caramels, notes of citrus/tangerine, malt and a long finish. The balance between malt and hops is quite charming. 2420
