Commercial Description:
Bottled, filtered, Occasional;
The purest spring water drawn from the River Otter is used to brew this traditional 19th Century-style IPA with a bit of a twist. Handcrafted with English floor malts and our very own yeast, we have added five of the US Pacific Northwest's most citrus-flavored, aromatic whole cone hops to create a new, complex, highly drinkable beer.

Amber colored with a beige colored head. Smell is caramel, hops, and alcohol. Medium body. Taste is malts, caramel, hops,. ok but nothing special.

Pours a nice deep orange. Medium hop aroma. Taste was somewhat suprising as the hops are there but restrained. More of a caramel taste than the citrus hop taste prevalent in IPAs. One of the first English IPAs I have had and it wasn’t bad but I have grown used to the large hop taste of the American versions. Pretty good overall.

Bought because my girlfriend loves otters. Pours dark orange with a tan ring. Nose is hoppy through my stuffy nose. Taste is sweet and resiny and lightly hoppy. This is a good English IPA, so different and more restrained than their American Brethren.

Bottle brought from Georgia by a friend. Pours a deep dark orange color with a frothy, white head. Aroma is citrus, floral, and almost sweet malt. Flavor is rich, hop bitterness, with a lasting finish. Great beer.
