I was drinking Otter ale on stillage one night but i thought i’d give this a crack instead, it’s a lot dryer than Otter Ale, has a slight green apple astringency to it and is a lot lighter, not as good as the ale but still not bad.

Cask-conditioned at Westbury-upon-Trym Conservative Club, Bristol (I was there as a guest!) A pleasant enough session bitter that contains some interest despite its low ABV. Of standard appearance but has aroma of hay with some supporting fruit. Flavour contains some hops with a good, dry aftertaste.

Cask@Akkurat, Stockholm. Honeyish golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is honey, wood and some caramel wood. A bit hayish too as it warms up. Flavour is dry hayish hops with wooden hints. Aftertaste is sour fruits and grass. Easy-to-drink and not too bad.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A copper coloured beer with some fruity malt to the nose. The taste has good bitterness, and it feels quite rounded albeit on the dull side.

Cask at the Nags Head, Lyme Regis, Dorset, 13-11-06 Labelled as Otter Sark Lark but I understand that this is the standard bitter now a rebadge, note the pub used to have a beer called Sark Lark which was brewed by Dorset Brewey, Weymouth. Found this to be a good beer little bit nutty nice bittereness, tasty.
