COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This tasty copper ale was originally called White Cap brewed in honor of our 15th Anniversary. Everyone liked the beer so much; we decided to release it year-round. To avoid any perceived consumer confusion, we changed the name to Rip Curl to celebrate the ripping winds and whitecaps of the Columbia River Gorge," It’s a thirst quenching easy drinking copper ale that has smooth wave of maltiness that crests to a clean fast finish. Brewed with a blend of specialty Caramel and Pale malt and balanced with East Kent Golding, Challenger & Fuggle hops. Rip Curl will also be available on draught in 1/2 & 1/4 bbls.

Ungstrup (23975) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 24, 2006
A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty again with a light touch of fruit, leading to a bitter end. A boring beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Light aroma of caramel and hops. Rather thin body with caramelish accents. Lightly fruity with a very discreet bitterness. Too discreet. 200606

bhensonb (7589) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 31, 2006
Balanced aroma of malt and hop. Reddish amber color with a decent white head. Starts with malt, which is sort of washed aside by the carbonation, allowing enough hop to somewhat balance the malt. Very nice, seems a bit malty for the style.

hopscotch (7535) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - DEC 20, 2002
The aroma is lightly malty with notes of caramel and hay. Sparkling clear copper hue. Small, fizzy, khaki-colored head. Quickly and fully diminishing. No lacing. The flavor is a little on the thin side, but this is it’s only weakness. It’s malty with a small blast of caramel up front. Well-balanced with another full blast of caramel and butter on the backside. Light-bodied with a buttery/silky mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Long, dry finish with another blast of caramel, butter and hay at the wee end. Very good beer. Pleasantly surprised.
