Otter Bitter is our ‘session’ beer. A beer designed to slip down easily and refresh all parts of the body that need refreshing. High in taste and low in gravity makes Otter Bitter a long term friend.

Otter Bitter has great condition which adds to its flavour profile. Fruit notes and well balanced malty flavours are tinged with a hint of bitterness to make Otter Bitter a Devon beer of distinction.

Cask at The Anchor, Beer. Distinctincly average ale with very little to talk about but a nice taste of England with a view of the sea in Devon to go with.

Handpull cask at the Gate, Sawbridgeworth. Dark brown with a reddish hue. Fairly clear. A ring of off-white head. Light malty aroma with some blackberry and a slight forest floor suggestion. Taste is also light, so much so that I only really taste my previous beer. Bittersweet with a short finish. I drank loads of this when I lived in Devon pre-RB. Either it doesn’t travel well, or the recipe has changed, or my taste has moved on. It’s ok but nothing special.

Straight from the cask at the Horseshoe Inn. Pours a rich copper with virtually no head. Aroma is dry with a little spice and toffee. Taste is bitter with a nice caramel malt note. Everything is very subdued, including the strength, which is ideal for a long session.

Tried at the Tudor house, Twekesbury. Pale Amber colour almost no head. Aroma is dull, and has a touch of malt. The taste mildly sweet. OK bitter but it won’t set the world alight.

23 March 2013. Hand-pulled pint in the lovely and remote ’Butchers Arms’ in the sleepy hamlet of Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire. Golden brown body with small but staying head of white bubbles. No great smell, but more malts than hops in what aroma there was. Malts also lead the flavours in the mouth, mildy caramel and semi-sweet with a fruity background (mixed berrys) and a semi-dry hop bitter finish. Not bad at all for a 3.6% ABV session beer and ideal when driving, as I was on this day.
