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.

Medium gold with a rocky white head. Malts are sweet and slightly nutty. Subtle spicy hop character with a fruity background. Finish is clean and smooth with a bittersweet aftertaste.

09.30.05 Bottle at brewery. Amber color with beige, lasting head. I almost drowned in this trying to find hops, by which I fully expected to be assaulted. Decent stuff is nutty and earthy like baled straw on a hot day. Some hop bite toward the end. Creamy medium body thins with temp.

12 oz bottle-pours a light tan head. Color is clear red. Aroma is grain. Taste is nutty, grain and is a nice mild beer.

Bottle - typically when I say a beer smells like brewday I am referring to the hops. This one has the aroma of the grain on brewday - a pleasant and unexpected first for me! Dirty copper body. Smallish light beige to off white head. Nice flavor, as well. I get a lot of the same grain character that ends with a quite sweet finish - as expected. I’m a bit surprised that this beer has rated as low as it has, but then again - it is an amber and not a Double IPA or Imperial Stout.

bottle. Light amber hue with a good lasting white head. The aroma is bright and yeasty with some citrusy hops. This brew begins with a sparkling peachy hop flavor and fades to a semi-sugary maltiness. It’s a little thin, but not a terrible brew.

Pours dark amber with a little head. Nice lacing. Very appealing looks. Quite bitter, medium sweetness and a light sourness. Malty aromas of caramel- and roasted malts and nuts. Also a hint of grapefruits. Medium bodied. Short dry finish. Lacks something interesting.

Bottle. Very amber colored pour. Sweet caramel aroma. Sugary and almost candied caramel malt flavor. A bit bready, and a a fair bit nutty. Its ok.

I have only recently begun sampling the beers from this company. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze-orange color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma is sour and vegetal. The flavor has a rich and thick malt base with a sour vegetal undercurrent. Very bock like in my opinion. Fairly well made but not a type of beer that suits me well.
