Description
Ridgeway Brewing​ was established in 2002 by master brewer Peter Scholey (former head brewer at Brakspear) and his wife Vanda. The name comes from the ancient trade route that winds its way through English countryside between small towns. It has been around for thousands of years, adapting with the changing times, The reason why we chose the name Ridgeway, apart from living on it, was that we hope to create lasting experiences, believe in the long term and love the outdoors.

Bought by Crafty Brewing in February 2025.

Bottiglia. Il naso viene catturato dallo speziato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul tetto della bocca si depositano sentori di caramello, miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca e agrumi.

Аромат отличный для стиля. Есть бархотистость от шоколадки и и намеком на зерна кофе, легкая сладость, небольшая кремовость стаутная. Цвет черный, пенка небольшая кофейная. Вкус умеренно сладкий, легкая кремовость снова, даже маслянистость. При глотке даже намеки на бобы, снова шоколадка. В целом в стиль и очень хорошо.

Bottle (2018, bottle # 02965) from Liquor Junction, Reading. Clear, virtually opaque brown w/mahogany, nice viscosity, ephemeral head, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy, peaty malt, molasses/toffee and a bit dusty with background vinous quality, as advertised. Taste is strong red wine quality throughout, initial earthy, peaty, dry malt; later strong molasses. Smooth and frothy, soft carb, dry, bitter roasted finish w/slight alcohol warming. Good strength, nice complexity and balance. How different European and American RIS are!
