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.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a nearly clear deep amber with a moderate yellow/white head and losts of carbonation. Pleasant malt aroma. The flavor is mostly caramel and malt, but not a heavy malt taste. Some very light fruitiness from the hops remains well in the background. Quite smooth. Good stuff.

Bottle: Clear amber color with a large frothy off-white head and lots of bubbles rising to the top. A distinct hop aroma full of junipers followed by a pretty well balanced hop-malt structure (although it seems the hops dominate). The body is average and it is an overall good brew.

Bottle. Pours a nice rich amber color with a good white head. Nice malt aroma. This is a very flavorful amber ale, one of the better ones I have tried. Well worth another try.

Bottle poured a clear dark amber with a large lasting off white head. Aromas of sweet malt, carmel and a hint of earthiness. Palate was light tomedium bodied and silky. Flavors of carmel, light nuttiness and a hint of vanilla with a crisp lightly sweet finish. An excellent session beer!

Clear copper color with little head. Has a nice sweet aroma that is typical of brown ales. Flavor is smooth, with a little bit of toast. Overall, a very drinkable brew.

Bottle: Pours a dark golden color with a frothy head, decent lacing. Basic malt flavor is enhanced with some added notes from roastiness, nuts, caramels, and toffee. Refreshing and easy to drink...
