COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Despite the tranquil calm of the Emerald Coast, the water can be treacherous! When the red and yellow flags are out, swim out too far and your best friend will be the lifeguard stationed on the beach. On second thought, a lifeguard rescue might be the perfect way to start your summer vacation. Share your Rip Tide Amber and find a friend for life. Trust us, sipping on our amber ale will be the best rip tide you’ll ever experience. Our Rip Tide Amber is a smooth and flavorful brew. Don’t worry about getting dragged under, you can drink Rip Tide without leaving the shore. The only thing you’ll be pulled to do is order another pint or take home a growler.

Bomber from Market Square. Amber pour with thin off-white. Aroma is sweet, almost tart malts, caramel, nuts. Tastes are nutty also; yeasty, grass. Eh.

Nice reddish Amber. Minimal aroma. Some malt and hops smell but you have to look for it. Taste is well balanced. The malt is first but the hops are there. Slightly sweet but easy drinking. Enjoyable.

Thanks Scott. Hazy amber white head dissipates. Straw hay aroma. Grass straw taste with a horrible stale finish. Not sure of freshness but this brewery isn’t known for traveling well.

Aurelius (3444) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - FEB 15, 2013
A sporty label on a bomber; clear, darkish tea colored brew. Rather subdued malty aroma -- sweet, a little cereal. Cereal, straw, tannic, slightly tinny hops, mossy. Medium body, Oat Krunchies finish, mild hoppy aftertaste. Not my favorite style, not bad given that I picked it up at a fire sale price ($3 bomber) at Market Square Liquors.

Pint on tap. Really fantastic beer, one of the best amber ale’s I’ve ever had. The balance and rich flavor really did it for me. The appearance, color, and aroma are all appetizing and par for the course. The texture, mouthfeel, and taste set it apart - no fizziness whatsoever, and it has a rich slightly roasty-caramel-sweetish taste, they’re not too shy with the hops, either. Well done!

On draft at Pensacola Bay. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a white head. Nose is big caramel, hints of bitterness, and a mild grassy hoppiness. Flavor follows. Light in body and mild hops on the back end, too.

daknole (7204) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - OCT 28, 2012
Amber pour, tan head. Caramel, some light grassy hops, some phenols. Flavor is sweet malt, hops, light yeast, a hint of plastic.

Suttree (4452) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - SEP 1, 2012
I have this as "Pensacola Bay Red Ale", but the bartendress was not 100% sure so I am hoping this is the correct beer. Reddish copper, beige head, and a caramel aroma. Caramel, woody flavors, with earthy, dry-ish finish. On tap, South Street

Dark clear amber. Caramelized. More bitter than I was expecting, but works well. Thin head. Decent beer...thanks Tony.
