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.

Unbelievably the best in my variety pack. Better tasting than the Titan IPA. Yeasty bread aroma. Does have a slightly different charactar than your typical pale ale. Very lively, no matter how carefully I poured, got a glass full of head. Just a little darker than your typical pale yellow american beer but not a dark beer. Was not clear and had little dark particles in there. As a secondary note: I was a bit dissapointed in my great divide variety pack, I couldn’t tell what I was buying and I was hoping at least for one dark style great divide, but not. However, If i’m to give a pale yellow beer a rating above 2, it’s good!

Pours clear amber with a brown tint. Medium tan head with decent retention, and patchy lacing. Sweet malt and caramel aroma. Medium-bodied and malty with a light hops bite underneath. Some yeast is present too. The finish is mostly sweet with a light nutty and hoppy finish. Decent, but not worth going out of my way for.

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)

Bottled. 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.

[Bottled at Old Eskil Ölkultur, Eskilstuna] Brownish amber, small creamy head. Toffeeish nose. Sweetish and caramelly with clean, rounded mouthfeel and notes of milk chocolate. Low bitterness. A pretty solid little beer, well worth drinking on its own.

Initially poured out crystal clear copper color until some sediment hit the glass. It is now a murky orange-copper color with nice off white head. Light malt and metallic aroma. Flavor is light and a bit watery. Taste is caramel and grainy malt.

Beautiful copper color; huge head. Aroma of malt and some hop. In the flavor, some malt (dry), caramel (soft) and correct bitterness. Average.
