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. A deep red beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of butter, caramel, and nuts, in an unpleasant way. The flavor is sweet with light notes of butter - making it unpleasant combined with notes of spices and a burnt edge.

(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

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

Bottled@Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Rubyish amber colour, not much head. Aroma is a bit wnieous, caramelly, some fruityness as well as red berries, toffeeish and fresh wooden notes. Flavour is caramel malts, some berries, toffee and mild grassy, wooden and nutty notes. Quite biscuity in the finish.

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

12oz bottle-pours a too big foamy(foamed on opening, best by 070306) light tan head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt, faint hops. Taste is sweet medium malt, faint hop-bitterness, nutty. OK carbonation.

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.
