Badger Hill MSB Minnesota Special Bitter
Badger Hill Brewing Company MSB Minnesota Special Bitter, A Well Balanced Ale. Alc 5.7% by Volume.
Best served in a Becher glass. Ooops. I forgot to read that before I cracked open a bottle and poured into a pint glass. Next time, next time.
Ruddy red appearance, tight, off-white head.
Aroma: light sweetness, full-on maltiness, fruity esters, cherry and berry, moderate bitterness. Pleasant complexity in this nose.
Taste: Loads in to the mouth lively full of flavor. Bitter hop presence kept constantly in check with English malts. Stops short of cloying, keeps delivering taste time after time. Continual check and balance between the hops and malt, the bitter and sweet, and it ends up tasty all the way.
Medium body, long, lush finish. Classic brew. Hey, what's in it?
"Combination of Maris Otter, 2 row, Crystal malts, 4 English and American hops. Plato 13.5, IBU: 47."
Another nice one from Badger Hill, keep 'em coming.
