Great Divide Ridgeline Amber Ale (Arapahoe Amber)

MALTY! Chock full of caramel malt goodness with considerable sweetness and bitterness (body, not aftertaste) to make things interesting. Nice!! I just knew that the brewery that produced St. Brigid’s Porter could come up with another quality brew if they tried hard enough - and this is it.

Very good Scotch ale type. Malt balanced with just the right amount of hops to make this beer very enjoyable for someone who likes his beer on the malty side and is starting to get to know hoppier brews.

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

I liked this quite a bit. Nice white head that conteasts with the amber color. Subtle dark malts evident in the nose, slightly floral. Complex taste with biting hoppiness in the beginning, mellowing out to a sweet, smooth finish with subtle caramel. Quite well balanced. This was something off the shelf that I picked up just try something new with no idea of what it was, and it turned out to be a nice surprise.

Visited the brewery in Denver and had a great time with Bernie, one of the brewers. Nothing like a great friendly brewery! This poured with a nice solid head like all their beers. It was sweet and malty. Good to excellent.
