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.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Almost clear deep amber color with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt, butter (diacetyl), caramel, some nuts, fruity notes and some floral hops. Sweetish malty flavor with some butter, caramel, grainy hints, a bit of hops and a slightly bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied and a bit over carbonated. Would’ve been a decent beer without that annoying diacetyl. Still kinda drinkable, but not really enjoyable.

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.

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.

Pours a nice amber red into a shaker. Off-white head with excellent retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to layer surface. Caramel malt aromas. Smooth caramel upfront which transforms to a slightly sour chalk finish.
