Badger Hill High Road Everyday Ale

The Badger Hill Brewing Company is in Minnetonka, Minnesota. This 5.0% session ale is brewed with Galaxy and Wakatu hops from Australia and New Zealand. The bottle recommends an American pint glass, so that is what I will use.

The beer pours a pale amber in color. There is a tall, thick and ragged head of off-white foam. The aroma is fruity hops, passion fruit and citrus, with enough toasted malt to keep the hops honest. There is a bit of tea with lemon and also some floral funkiness. The taste is a nice melded blend of toasted malt, caramel, just a tad nutty, and fruity and floral hops. The finish is smooth and mild with just a touch of bitterness, there is some sweetness in the flavor, but it ends dry. Everyday ale is a good name for this, drinkable everyday.
