This bottle conditioned ale portrays all that is best about the traditional British bitter - hoppy bitterness on the palate and the nose is married with the full body of the beer. Ridgeway bitter uses an unusual aphid-resistant hop variety Boadicea. A golden beer with an aroma of floral hops and a little orange marmalade.

500ml bottle, and yeah, 4.0%abv Bitter so that make it an official Session beer. Label has this on it: BBF 24 6 10 so I'm thinking that translates to best before June 24, 2010.
A slightly hazy light gold colour with about an inch of foam. There's not much of any bubble activity.
The smell is a nice balance between sweet malts and light citrus hops(the label says Challenger & Boadicea, the latter I've never heard of) Bottom line re the smell is that it smells very much a brew coming from the UK. I'm expecting good things with the taste.
The taste has a very nice hoppy bitter flavour that is countered by some sweetish notes from the malt and a light fruitiness that I'm guessing is very cherry like. I notice it more when I swish the beer in my mouth but without swishing, it is still there. I'm liking this English Bitter. Plenty of flavour for the abv.
It borders on medium bodied but I'd still call it light, the carbonation is medium..could be restrained just a tad more but works. Good mouthfeel.
Drinkability? Great drinkability and why the hell not! Low in alcohol and plenty of flavour. What's not to like? I wish I had picked up more than 1 bottle.

Update. I drank a bottle this morning and was very disappointed. Near zero malt presence and the hops came across as astringent.
I will rate from my first experience.

Goldeny amber colour with a mediumsized white foamy head, which leaves rich lace. Aroma is floral, grassy, some mild herbal and a bit wooden tones. Flavour is biscuity and sweet grainy with some herbs, wood and mild earthy tones.

Appearance: Fogged deep gold with a decent off-white head. Aroma: Biscuit, honey, raw water, floral notes, pine, Taste: pretty dry, medium bitter. Otherwise as described above. Lingering ending bitterness. Mouth feel: Light to medium body, average carbonation. Summary: Drinkable enough.
Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear amber colour with a medium sized fluffy white head. Aromas of floral, biscuits and caramel. Taste is again floral, biscuits and caramel with added notes of orange sherbet. Very malty with low bitterness. Subtle earthy hops on the finish. Thinnish body with low carbonation. I am a bit disappointed with this Beer. A bit bland and not much else to say really. Below average Bitter.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours Light amber, fairly transparent, with moderate, very fine white foam. Aroma is earthy, a little soapy and malty, toffee. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is well balanced, with both medium sweetness and bitterness. Final is dry. Overall, easy to drink and quite enjoyable.
