Their first India Pale Lager. Described as a Northeast-style hoppy Lager, it has a simple, light grist, complemented by a blend of American and German hop varieties, giving the beer “aromas of pine, prefacing hop flavours of stone fruits and citrus”. Coming in at 6.5% ABV and 40 IBUs, Riptide is joining Coastal Lager and Abyss as a core brand.

Can. Pours a clear orange with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma a has a good amount of pine with some resin, a bit of citrus rind and a hint of straw. Flavor has a nice resinous pine with some light citrus rind and a bit of light grains.

Touch of amber, and with just a thin head. The aroma is a bit hoppy, toasty. On the palate, this is toasty, quite bitter. Doesn’t really jump out with a lot of great character - certainly the hops lack brightness - but the malts aren’t bad and overall you can enjoy a pint of it.

Can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with light hops and biscuity, cereal malt. Flavour is quite fruity, with toasted malt, and bitter piney hops. Nicely balanced, with a healthy bitterness on the finish. Solid.
