Hopped with 3 varieties of new world hops, set against a malt backbone of 5 different malts Maris the Otter is a complex modern take on English Bitter. Named in homage to both Maris Otter, the most supreme of brewing grains, which celebrates its 50th birthday in the launch year of Brew York (2016) and the Otter that inhabits the river Foss directly behind the Brew York Craft Brewery.

Cock Tavern. Cask. Almost clear amber beer, patchy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet, some grain. Trace of caramel. Mild ripe fruits. Light semi dry finish. Shabby condition and a bit dull.

Cask at the Cock, 08/06/17. Chestnut brown with a decent light beige cap. Nose is twig on, bitter fruit rinds, straw, earthy. Taste comprises biscuit, toffee, grains, earthy fruit whisper. Medium to light botty, moderate carbonation, drying close with a mellow bitter strike. Pretty twiggy and basic, least interesting beer I’ve had from this brewer.

Cask at the cock. A nut brown coloured pour with a lasting halo of white head. Aroma is nutty twiggy malts, brown leaves, raisin.. Flavour is composed of semi sweet grassy hop, rustic autumnal notes. Palate is semi sweet moderate carbonation. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Shakespeare, Sheffield 18/1/2017. Amber in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Solid bitter, with some ripe cereal malts, touch of leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.
