Pronounced but not unpleasant. Pride of Ringwood delivers a strong resin character with possible woody tones of cedar or oak with a pitch toward earthy and herbal. It may also have fruity, citrus, and floral whispers. Pride of Ringwood is most often associated with bittering because of its relatively high alpha-acid content, but it has been used with a lighter touch, in later additions, to dress up aroma and flavor. Early additions will yield a strong clean bitterness that creates a nice background for the use of other aroma varieties in the later additions. Used in the later additions it can give a nice woody character and light citrus/floral whisper that can lend an added freshness to a lager or, at a slightly higher dose, give darker and stronger beers a rounded herbal/earthy quality. It is especially suited to Australian lagers or Australian Sparkling Ale.
