Pelican Releases Two New Red Ales


Just in time for Zwickelmania, Pelican Pub & Brewery of Pacific City, Oregon unveils two new red ale. First, say hello to Riptide Red, a new spring seasonal from Brewmaster Darron Welch and company.

Darron Welch describes Riptide Red:

Darron WelchInspired by the traditional red ales of Ireland, Riptide Red has a beautiful dark copper color and a medium bodied presence. Our Spring seasonal has a malt aroma reminiscent of toffee, caramel, and cocoa with a subtle floral bouquet. The lush aroma gives way to a full, rounded malty flavor with caramel notes, and a smooth, well-balanced finish. Riptide Red is our local tribute to Irish heritage!

In addition to this welcomed new brew, Pelican is also releasing a special new one-off Belgian-Style Brew. Raz de Rouge will feature a “complex, fruity aromatic character with notes of sweet spices, toasty malt, caramel and toffee. A rich, malt-driven flavor profile emphasizes soft caramel flavors with a subtle hop presence. A background tart character rounds out the finish. Raz de Rouge is naturally carbonated by re-fermentation in the keg, and completely unfiltered. Enjoy this unique Belgian-style beer while it lasts because only five kegs of it were produced. It will be available at the Pelican around the middle of the month.”
