Pickled Partridge
I seem to have a new favourite pint glass. It's a Badger branded Pickled Partridge pint, and it is a cross between a traditional pint and an oversized wine glass. A happy medium! This particular glass was gifted to me over 12 months ago by Tom and Maura who used to manage The Andover Arms, along with a couple of Fuller's Rugby jerseys and my coveted ESB stemmed glass.My wife noticed that I had been using the glass (which had been sitting in a box collecting dust) and picked up a bottle of Pickled Partridge (4.5% abv) from Tesco. Overall I like the beer. It's malty and as a special bitter should be and it maintains a cask like taste even though it has been bottled. A decent beer. Website
I should also note that this glass is a 'pint to line' glass, which actually makes the glass slightly larger than a pint. Currently there is plenty of debate over such glasses here and here.

That's a cool looking glass - I've got some of a similar shape and I love it. I wasn't massively impressed with the Pickled Partridge though.
We've got some for Timmermans Kreik. I think the glass is a bit girly, but then so is beer that tastes of cherries.
However, I have taken to trying beers out of wine glasses, when nobody is looking mind, just to maximise the aroma thing. Don't tell Wurst.
I agree - Pickled Partridge was pleasant enough, but not worth shouting about.
I thought it was pretty good. Maybe it is a consistancy issue? I have had a few pints of Jenning's Sneck lifter which have been ordinary and a few which have been brilliant.
