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.

Clear amber, red, orange, brown pour medium head. Nose is very much raw grains just crushed. Same raw grain taste lightly sweet, as if the beer is still in the wort stage. Mid range amber that’s palatable.

On tap at David Copperfields. Deep reddish copper in color with a little white head. Malty fruity aroma. Roasty caramel notes. Hoppy grainy flavor. Citrusy and grassy notes. Finish is malty. Medium bodied. Smooth. Decent beer.

What a nice beer on a hot afternoon! Nice hops but not too strong, nice malt but not overpowering. Nice aftertaste.

Bottle at the Rover, Göteborg, Sweden. Aroma is fruity and slightly roasted, with faint hop notes. Medium bodied, decent carbonation. A bit unbalanced.

Bottle. Poured orange-amber with a rocky cream head. Grainy and grassy aroma. Biscuity and sweet cereal malt flavor, nice and smooth with a shy showing (a trace really) of citrus hops, though the restraint of the hop hand is actually a good thing here. Medium to full bodied but very drinkable. Nothing overly exciting (since it is just an amber ale), but a pretty smooth sessionable beer.

Appearance: Pours a bright, crystal clear orange-amber body with a fizzy, ivory head. Smell: Sweet-smelling bready aroma with caramel and a soft, floral hop scent. Taste: Semi-sweet butterscotch with roasted malts start with a little bump of fruitiness as you reach the finish. The finish itself is clean and quick, with just a bit of a bitter, citrusy hop presence. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderately carbonated. A bit watery. Drinkability: Though simple and clean, its reasonably flavorful and quite drinkable.

Bottle. Sweet aroma has apple cider and some dark sweet caramel. Orange-amber body, clear with an enormous soapy beige head. Bittersweet taste - very much like that of an ESB - focuses on the sweetish caramel with faint nuttiness in the bg. Touch of orange rind. Tingling mf, medium (but slightly light) body. Light floral hops last beyond the liquid phase. Simple little guy, no major flaws, but much more like a Brown Ale in my book.
