Otter Bitter

[Cask at Mount Pleasant Inn, Dawlish Warren] Amber, slight white head. Very smooth indeed. A straw, earth and farmyard taste reminiscent of Wadworth’s beers will not be to everyone’s liking, but there’s no denying that this packs in a lot of flavour considering the low ABV. A good bitterness in the finish makes this a light yet tasty and refreshing session ale - it grew on me the more I had.

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.
