Riggwelter Ale takes its name from a local Yorkshire Dales farming term which has Norse roots; “rygg” meaning back, and “velte” meaning to overturn. A sheep is said to be rigged or ‘riggwelted’ when it has rolled onto its back and is unable to get back up without assistance.

Riggwelter has a wonderfully complex palate with hints of coffee, bananas and liquorice combining for a classic Golding hop finish.

(270724) 0,2l on tap @ One Pint Pub (as the Holy Grail). Pours clear amber with a medium head. Aroma is clean bitter malts. Flavor is clean bitter malts with some fruity notes and a hoppy finish. Good. (647414) (181024) Re-rate. A small taste @ the flagship Alko, press blind tasting. Pours slightly cloudy copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma is toasted malts, some dark fruits, some alcohol. Flavor is thin and dry toasted malts, some bitter herbs, hops. Not my cup of tea.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

50cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, with fine cream foam, limited. Aroma is overly malty and caramel, nutty. Body is slightly dense, with average carbonation. Taste is medium sweet. Final is average in intensity, with some longer sweetness.

Flaska från SB. Mahognyfärgad klar vätska med en krämig skumpuck. Stor kropp, karamell, fruktkaka, fudge, rostade nötter allt mer än väl balanserat att en distinkt och rejäl beska som växer för varje klunk. I bakgrunden kan man ana ängsblommor ch mineraler. Ärkebrittisk och mycket god

Bottle at home, thanks to Dave over the road, 26/05/23. Chestnut brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is biscuit, toffee, dried fruit rinds, dark malts. Taste comprises brown bread, grains, biscuit, toffee, dates, fruit cake mix. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad if perhaps lacking some depth to the flavour.
