Looking like a new product by Badger as I haven't seen it before. 500ml short-neck clear bottle, BB DEC 08, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: dark amber, topped with a well-lasting layer of pillowy off-white foam, backed by moderate carbonation.
S: sweet/syrupy pale malts (a tad honey-ish) come with a little hint of Czech Pilsner's grassiness... as the foam dissipates, the sweet citric and floral edge of hops takes over with a lightly dusty note. As it warms, the deeper, bitter-sweet caramely note of malts slowly expands.
T: the dirty-cloth-like taste of traditional pale ales comes in abundance, bitter-sweet, and definitely floral in hoppiness (like most other Badger ales); turning fast into an aftertaste of licorice-ish biscuits, caramel, and a surprisingly dry, long bitter finish, suggesting roast tea-leaves, fruit tartness, and a little tannins.
M&D: the mouthfeel is overly fizzy for my palate, but overall this 3.8%abv. pale ale holds the body quite well, and the dry aftertaste manages to make it more pleasant than its flavour profile alone can achieve.
