Ishmael Copper Ale Rising Tide Brewing Co. | Portland, Maine

Ishmael [ish-mey-uhl] (n)—narrator and protagonist of the Herman Melville novel Moby Dick.

From Rising Tide Brewing Company—the independent, family-owned brewery anchoring Portland, Maine's vibrant East Bayside neighborhood—comes Ishmael, a richly-flavored American copper ale that embodies the thoughtful craftsmanship and Maine-grown ingredients that define this beloved New England brewery. Founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Nathan and Heather Sanborn, Rising Tide has built its reputation on creative flavors, quality, consistency, and a deep love for the Maine coast and outdoors.

Ishmael represents Rising Tide's American interpretation of the classic altbiers of Düsseldorf, but with a distinctly New World character. Brewed with continental Munich malt for depth, American-grown hops for brightness, and a clean-fermenting ale yeast, this copper ale strikes a beautiful balance between Old World tradition and contemporary American brewing. The result is a slightly sweet and malty beer balanced by firm bitterness—a genuine classic that may just spark a new obsession.

Beer Profile:

At 4.9% ABV, Ishmael pours a beautiful copper color with perfect clarity and a tight, fine-bubbled head that displays excellent retention and leaves chunky lacing down the glass. The nose is clean and inviting, revealing rich malty sweetness with aromas of bread crust, caramel, molasses, and a pinch of brown cocoa. Faint earthy notes mingle with pleasant, oily grassy hops and a hint of herbal spice.

On the palate, Ishmael is clean, malty, and medium-bodied—everything you want in a dinner companion. The flavor opens with sweet, bready malt and caramel notes, followed by layers of toasted grain, molasses, and nutty complexity. The hops are more assertive than you might expect, bringing earthy bitterness, herbal spice, black pepper, and even a subtle suggestion of grapefruit rind. The finish is crisp and slightly dry with lingering toasty grain and earthy hop bitterness.

The mouthfeel is decisively medium-bodied with a full, firm, and almost chewy texture, lifted by lively carbonation that provides refreshing scrubbing action. This is beer that's smooth yet structured—approachable enough for everyday drinking but complex enough to keep things interesting.

Pairing Suggestions: Ishmael's clean, malty character makes it the perfect companion for juicy burgers, barbecue, hearty sandwiches, roasted meats, or your favorite pub fare.

You could call it an altbier or an amber. We call it a copper ale. We call it Ishmael.

Gorgeous, thick and soft.

Absolutely gorgeous! Quality is excellent. I purchased three prior to this from different companies, and returned them. Finally came across this company and truly love the texture and look. This pelt is real sheepskin, NOT felt backing like some. The real deal.

I was hesitant to order this online but oh my GAWD, it's so much better than I thought it'd be. Soft and warm, and cozy. Far exceeded my expectations, and really took the Eames to the next level. Highly recommend.

Very nice quality
Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White, Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
I ordered three of these, and they arrived promptly and very well packaged in a vacuum seal pack. Once you pull them out, shake them and fluff them a little bit they lose their wrinkles pretty quickly. They seem to be very good quality and are authentically sheepskin. The “white” has a tiny little bit of a yellow undertone, which is what I expected since it’s basically a dyed sheep skin. I would call the white color “natural” rather than white white. They are very thick and were a good price. I ordered two of the three foot-long hides and one 6ft foot hide. One of the hides had a slight odor to it that reminded me a little bit of eggs. It’s been laying on my bench all night and 24 hours later there is no smell. The other two hides had zero smell at all. I think it’s just a little leftover chemical smell from the treatment of the hide when they get it ready. It wasn’t overwhelming or overpowering. If you’re looking for the ultimate SUPER plush sheepskin, I recommend the Overland Sheepskin Company. However, for what I need these for which is just something to throw over my dining room table bench for a little cushion and aesthetics. It’s absolutely perfect and the right price point.

Beautiful Good Quality Sheepskin, Beautifully Packaged
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
Very nicely packaged and presented sheepskin rug. Seems like very good quality and is just as I imagined it would be based on my previous experiences with sheepskin. I don’t think it’s as soft as others seemed to think but it has been chemically processed and it is very similar in texture to what I remember from past experiences with sheepskin. I got this for the kitties to nap on - one seemed proud of me for bringing home a pelt and went into hunt mode. The other looked at me suspiciously like he didn’t really know me at all and was afraid I could be eyeing him for his fur! Hopefully once they both adjust they’ll enjoy napping on it 🙀😻
