Clear golden with a medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with floral hops, pine and caramel notes. Flavour was quite hoppy and had pine, grapfruits and malty notes. Finished bitter.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Cloudy a,ber, rich airy head. Floral estery nose. Sweetish and fairly light. Dusty fruity hops with resiny, sweaty undertones. ALingering floral bitterness of mid intensity. One of the better Ridgeway’s.

(Bottled, sampled earlier when RB was broken) Clear, deep golden with a quite large, frothy head. Fresh, flowery-aromatic British-style hops emerge when pouring, along with a hint of buttery-toffeeish malt. Malt is also present in the flavor, but the citric, aromatic, bitter, and even slightly harsh hops take over pretty quickly. Aftertaste fades quickly with dry, bitter-nutty notes. Almost medium body with a high, soft and foamy carbonation. A positive surprise, and not much different from the 6% version.

courtesy of oh6gdx - hazy orange colour under a foamy white head; fair presence of hops with notes of orange peels and cream; solid carbonation, fizzy palate, quite thin-bodied and with a solid bitterness; aftertaste of bitter oranges - straightforward

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a creamy white head. Aroma is fruity hops and malt. Hoppy flavour with some fruits, sweetness, malts and citrus. Medium-bodied and bitter aftertaste. Very drinkable brew.

The full name is Bad Elf Winters Ale – and the ABV is 4,5%. It is a warm golden beer with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of fruity hops, malt, caramel and citrus. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of citrus, malt, caramel, fruit and the finish is dry with a light bitterness. It is refreshing, harmonic and delicious.
