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.
