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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Comes as "Great Divide Ridge Line Amber". Very, very pretty deep copper-coloured with a small, dense head. Very aromatic, hoppy nose but only a moderate hoppiness throughout the beer. Lovely nutty aroma with a full, chewy body. A nice beer, sip by sip... 280505

Pours clear amber colored and a fine though disappearing off-white head. Mild hop and malt aroma with notes of toffee. Rather bitter hoppy flavor with malt notes and spices. Medium bodied and a bitter watery end. Nice and easy.

A hazy amber beer with a huge disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast and oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of oranges leading to a dry bitter end. An OK beer.

A highly drinkable beer - quality in the brewing is evident (at least, to me). Nice color and flavor - I’ll definitely buy this again.

Bottle... Overcarbonated. Cloudy orange ale with a large, reverse cascading, off-white head. Terrific retention. Very root beer float-like head. Nutty, fruity aroma delivers notes of fruitcake and unscented soap. The perfectly balanced flavor is just a wee bit malty, nutty and vineous. Light-bodied and fizzy. Lengthy, very dry finish.

pours out dark amber in color. nutty and malty, this one went pretty well with seafood. sort of hoppy as it goes down. not a bad scottish ale??, not the best, but certainly drinkable. i actually had no idea this was even considered a scottish ale - seems to be more of just an amber or pale ale. whatever though.

Pours an amber color with no head. Dry hop aroma. Vegetable taste with a spicy finish. Scottish ale... not bloody likely. More like a defective Pale Ale.
