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.

This was smooth & red. Malty, no discernible hops. Had a nice body and was easy to drink. Medium to high carbonation

A wonderful red. I would have to say that it is the closest thing to Full Sail Amber available in the northeast.

The best Red ale I have had so far. Beautiful red appearance and nice creamy biege head. Flavor was malty and creamy smooth with some ameican hops and nice smooth american or irish yeast flavors. Reminds me of my own homebrewed red ale. Nice full aroma and mouthfeel and very smooth and creamy. Outstanding.
