Commercial Description:
This beer is not named after an obscure character in a Dickens novel. It is instead the beer equivalent of a varietal wine: Maris Otter is considered by many brewers to be the finest of all English Barleys, and is reserved for "top of the line" pale ales, where its low tannin and protein content make for a clean flavor combined with a smooth finish. The hops are Willamette. (o.g. 1.054 IBUs 32)

Sampled at the 2008 Music City Brewers Fest. Copper with an off-white head that left light lacing. Sweet aroma of fruits and malts. The flavor finds caramel and a light fruit background. Light body with a medium bitterness. Smooth carbonation.

Cask handpull at brewpub: Clean golden hue with a small frothy head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of grassy noble hops, some apple and mango esters, biscuity malt, hint of caramel, and some pepper vapours. The taste is a balanced mild bitterness, fruity and dry grainy background. A touch medicinal but not too bad. The mouth feel is soft and chalky, thin and refreshing enough. A very quaffable session beer, I liked it. The should be listed as an ESB methinks.

Draft sample at Knoxville Brew Jam. Poured a clear dark amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Flavorful pale ale.

Copper, nice beige head. Mild aroma, maybe a bit fruity with some earthy notes. Flavor is more fruity than the aroma. Cleanaand crisp at first, then slightly sweet. Flinty finish. At the 2007 Knoxville Brewer’s Jam.
