Commercial Description:
A malty, copper-hued treat from start to finish, Ridgeline begins with a distinctive, estery aroma. Followed with a complex, nutty malt flavor true to its Scottish-style heritage, Ridgeline delivers unparalleled character and dimension. A touch of hops rounds out its silky, full body, highlighting Ridgeline’s subtle but engrossing character.

Bottle. Pours a very lightly hazed caramel brown with a medium large white head. Light citrus hop, caramel malt, and a touch of grain. Little thin, a bit sweet – sort of candy like at first, moving to a more malty back. Finishes with a nice balancing bitterness. Hmm… had no idea this one was retired. when did this stop getting made? This one says it was bottled first week of June… makes me think I found an old bottle in my rummages through the back sections of the cooler since I doubt that this was bottled just two months ago, must be the year before.. Kind of neat then.

Crystal clear copper red with a big light tan head. Sheets of lacing. Big caramel aroma, candy apples, other mixed fruitiness. Taste is simple caramel, the fruit is there, with a bitter grassy hop finish.

From the Bottle at the Great Divide Brewing Company, Denver 12/10/2007 Malt aroma. Amber coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp and slightly bitter dry malt finish.

Bottle. Pours a copper color with a thin head. Aromas are an uninspiring mix of musty grain and wet dog. Chewy and thick caramel malt dominates the flavor with little sidecurrents or other moments to create interest apart from a little bit of nuts. Pretty weak.

Amber color with some head. Not a whole lot of aroma but what there is little malt. Light hop tastes balances with the maltiness.

Copper Amber pour into thin off white head that mostly dissipates into lingering lacings. Aroma of sweet malty caramel and light citrusy hops. Initial flavor of creamy malty sweetness with slight hint of bitter hops. Full bodied finish with a creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with an off white head. Sweet malty and carmel. Lightly malty with some light nuttyness. Bittersweet with a touch of butterscotch. Good brew.

Pours medium-dark amber with a large off-white head that quickly dissipates. Nice aroma of light caramel malts and dry fruit. Flavor is pleasant, full -bodied, light and malty, and a little bitter-sweetness and hops.
