Elsie Mo’s name is derived from the Low Colour Maris Otter malt from which it is exclusively brewed, and which gives the beer its lovely golden hue. A blend of First Gold, Aurora and Bobek hops give the beer its delicate citrus aroma and floral taste.

500ml Bottle conditioned, best before the end of June 2012: poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard during March 2012. My bottle claims 5.0%ABV (as the premium strenght bootled variety). Exceedingly pale for a British beer, urine straw coloured in fact: on top a pure white head. Hop aroma, no room for anything else. The taste was also all hops, citrus, piney and hoppy: the Maris Otter malts are there for the colour not the taste and they give very little to the overall flavour of the beer. This is a fine summer beer and easy to drink, refreshing and thirst quenching, a bit too hop heavy for my normal choice but enjoyable non the less.

50cl bottle @ home shared by Joes. Clear yellow/golden color, small white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell fruityness and some hops. Taste is about the same: fruity and hoppy. Pretty nice. Medium fizzy carbo, medium body.

Bottle from Tescos in Amersham, Bucks. A golden coloured pour with a smallish white head on top. Hoppy, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, crisp, citrus fruit, slight sweetness. Rather plain and uninspiring but drinkable I guess.

Cask-conditioned at the Coronation, Bristol 31/3/10. Pale gold in colour with a decent white head. Light, citrus hop and sweet malt aroma. Soft, fruity flavour with lemony hops and a short, dry finish. Ok.
