Bottle, from historic notes. Bought whilst on holiday in Devon. Poured almost clear amber copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, fruit, light hops and flowers. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, soft carbonation. Fair.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before End of Nov 2008, drank on a sunny afternoon in early Oct 2008 (in Shropshire). Poured into my favourite glass of the moment, a Westmalle Chalice one and half times. A slight haze to my Beautiful Daze, it was a dull orange peel colour with an off-white foaming head at first. The head soon fell away to a thin covering and collar. The aroma was light and airy, an English country garden type wiff of flowers, sweet peas and hops. I found the beer a bit thin and too carbonated for my liking. Dry and refreshing it was, but it had something missing for me. A session beer should still have something about it and this didn’t. My first beer reviewed on this site from Otter, I hope they score better next time I come across one of their beers.

[500ml bottle, gift from Mum & Dad - cheers!] Pours very clear copper, swiftly diminishing off-white head. Malt and lemon aroma. Good, rich bready maltiness with some fruit in the background. Decent, well-balanced clean bitterness in finish. Alright, it’s not complex, but it’s a damn fine malty bitter, with a good depth of flavour considering the low ABV. Nice one!

50cl bottle bought in Hartney Whitney. Amber with a ring of white head; berry fruit aroma; chewy marmalade malt flavours; pleasant light bitter finish. A surprisingly full bodied bitter.

50 cL bottle@chris_o’s place, thanks Chris. Pours deep orange to almost amber. Has a small off-white lacing head. Breadish and slight dark malty dry aroma. Flavour has the same breadish note together with a slight raisin note. Ends slight dry malty.

Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body, with a nice, lasting, creamy, off-white head. Delicate nose of malt, caramel and hops. I wish for a more pronounced hoppiness though. The flavor is quite bitter, with caramel and pale malt to follow. Medium body. Nice finish with some hops. A nice session beer, but they could easily put more hops in it, bitterness that is. (070707)
