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.

Bottled at The Rover, Gothenburg. It pours clear, dark golden, with a small off-white head. The nose is sweet and hoppy, with some notes of beefstock. The flavor is much the same, but weaker. Fullbodied beer that is a bit one-dimentional. It is good, but a bit boring. (060824)

Bottle Sept. 2006. Color was the standout for me; an nice reddish/amber color. Very small head. Smell was bland, with caramel and hops. Taste was also bland. Somewhat sweet. Nutty and malty tastes. Overall it was ok.

Bottled. It’s nothing incredibly exciting - a run of the mill amber ale with a malty aroma and some very mild hop in the finish. It’s aight.

This one has a creamy texture and a reddish orange sunset color to it. I detect shades of malt, pepper, orange peel and some possible spices which seem well balanced. I think this is my favorite example of an amber, a style I don’t usually enjoy.

Bottle: Pours with a deep amber body and a small sized off-white head, that is short living. Fruit, caramel and hops in the aroma. The flavour is rather caramel sweet and nutty with some malt. Medium bodied. Slightly bitter finish. Not the best Great Divide but an OK brew.

<!-- i -->Bottled.<!-- /i --> <!-- br --> A bit hazy pale amber-brown color, small head. Bready, horse saddle aroma. Malty, bready, some kandi sugar. Cross over of amber ale and APA. Quite plain beer from Great Divide.
