Ridgeway Reindeers Revolt

Brewed by Hepworth
Style: English Strong Ale
Horsham, England

0.5l bottle. Starting to taste cold very nice and easy. warming up and gaining flavor, better and better. Small sips much better than big mouthfuls!

Pours dark orange color. EXTREME head. Very frothy. Almost got away from me while I was pouring into a pint glass! Citrus notes in flavor with hops on the palate in the aftertaste. No aroma to speak of. Good body. Not very heavy mouth feel, but also not thin either. After warming up slightly some malt comes out in the flavor proile. Perhaps a Crystal 60L? I seem to be on the high side for this beer’s rating compared to others. I guess I’m really enjoying this bottle. I’d buy it again it if weren’t $5/btl!!

1pt.9oz bottle wife got me for Cristmas. Medium sweet malt aroma. Dark gold body with big foamy head that forms a halo on body thoughout beer. Chewy malts and cherry jucice flavor Smooth on the palate a good novaltiy beer, but also a good beer to drink.

Pours light amber into an English pint. Fluffy white head with good retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Caramel malt aromas. Crisp with sweet apple upfront and a lasting slight hop middle to a bittersweet finish.

(500 ml bottle at Haket, Göteborg) Clear copper color, tan head. Fresh fruity and hoppy scent, a bit grainy. Also sweet. Bitter taste, also sweet and fruity. Bitter aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

50cl bottle- Dark golden in colour with a white head. Hoppy, peachy aroma. The taste is mildly hoppy and bitter with a nicely balanced malt and hop aftertaste. Quite a good beer and very drinkable for the strength!

16.9oz bottle - Pours copper colored with a big frothy head. It has a mild aroma mainly of English hops with some bready malt in there. The flavor is similar to a bitter and the hops are well balanced by pale biscuit malt tones. It’s medium bodied and finishes kind of dry. I rather enjoyed this one though it is a little overpriced for what it is.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized off-white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a slightly hazy typically carbonated orange brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was hoppy mild malt and mild cloven spice. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and mild hops that increase in intensity after a few sips. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
