Parallel tasting with 4.5% and 6.0% versions.
Slightly hazy golden colour with small white head.
Mild fruity/floral hoppy aroma with some sweet caramel (much more than 6% version). Pleasant fruity/floral hoppy flavour with notes of sweet caramel/toffee, some bitter ash and saltwater. This is actually better than 6% version. thewolf (5792), Kolding, Denmark

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 2, 2009 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. sayravai (3750), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 16, 2009 (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. Bov (5477), Bienne, Switzerland
