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. Medium head with good duration. Amber color (surprise surprise). Nice fruity aroma. Taste is sweet caramel. Good carbonation.

bottle - Poured a slightly cloudy copper color with a moderate head that stuck around awhile. The aroma is light and malty. The flavor is sweet and malty as advertised, but also has a pretty good hops balance. The body is medium and the finish is fairly clean. A little more intense flavor and better finish would really bring this beer up, but it’s good as is and easy to drink.

Better than average amber ale. Clearly their goal here is to produce a malt dominated beer without much hop character. Bready,. buttered scone malts dominate, with a hint of caramel and just a little bit of herbal hops.

12 oz bottle-pours a light tan head. Color is clear red. Aroma is grain. Taste is nutty, grain and is a nice mild beer.

I have only recently begun sampling the beers from this company. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze-orange color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma is sour and vegetal. The flavor has a rich and thick malt base with a sour vegetal undercurrent. Very bock like in my opinion. Fairly well made but not a type of beer that suits me well.

This beer is malty, indeed. Semi-sweet, somewhat buttery flavor with hints of caramel. Slight hop presence. Slight bitterness. Smooth drinking and medium bodied.

Slightly hazy orange-amber colour. Earthy, slightly caramelly, crackerlike aroma. Earthy, slightly toasty, slightly caramelly flavour. Medium body. Good balance. A straightforward amber - and thus devoid of any particular attractions - but decently made.

(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

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.

Slightly hazy light copper body, thin off-white head. Fairly musty caramely/bready aroma with a hint of grassy hops. Nice caramely/fruity malt notes hit the palate immediately and fade to toast and hints of cheerios, finishing with bitter grassy hops and toast. Strong carbonation. Could be a bit denser but this isn’t a bad beer (disclaimer: I enjoy amber ales).
