Id say its just pale malt with a bit of crystal, then as you already know single hop with first gold

I'd add it's prolly dark crystal rather than light.

How much would you say in a 23L batch? About 250g?

I'd try 5% of dark crystal with S04

I had a bottle of First Gold yesterday and it is on my list to brew!

Anyone have a recipes for other Badger ales?

Whatever yeast strain(s) that Hall & Woodhouse use contribute a significant part of the flavour profile IMHO - difficult to imitate that part.

I remember working in a Hall and Woodhouse the summer they brought this in to replace Badger Best. Never really rated any of their beers to be honest, I know this is very helpful! They were quite a friendly bunch though so it might be worth an email to the head brewer? If I'm ever interested in a beer it's what I do and it's paid off for me so far.
