Description
in 1842 Thomas Dixon Ridley built his brewery on the banks of the River Chelmer. It was here that the Ridleys’ great tradition of brewing was born. The brewery thrived and Ridley’s beer was enjoyed at inns from Southend to Saffron Walden. Over the next 163 years six generations of Ridleys honed their skills and perfected their palettes to bring the people of Essex the best local brews, until the brewery was sold in 2005. In 2012 Nelion Ridley takes up the mantle once more, and with his craft brewery ‘Bishop Nick’, is devoted to keeping Essex ales sacred.

Bottle@yesprs - Orange pour with white head. Aroma and taste is toasty malty and fruity, with some notes of orange, some herbal twiggy hoppy action in the house, overall not bad.

Bottled 500ml (AbM)
Clear amber-copper color, steady small off-white head and lace. Aroma has spruce and pine needles or even birch leaves. Some crystal malt. Light-bodied. Flavor is similar to nose: birch leaves, pine needles, light caramalt base. Quite light and uninspiring although well-brewed.
