Imagine a beautifully polished piece of Amber and, funnily enough, that is what you’ll get when you order a pint of Amber. Wafts of citrus fruit and spice will entice you to drink. The Cara malt and carefully selected hops in Amber create a balanced, slightly bitter flavour with those fruity, spicy aromas following through to the tastebuds. You might even detect a hint of ginger in there somewhere.

On cask at the Grosvenor. Appearance - amber and slightly murky. Decent head. Nose - toffee with a faint biscuity note. Some spice. Taste - more toffee and biscuits. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly fresh finish. Overall - decent if uninspiring.

Cask @ Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber/yellow, very clear. Faint scent of honey with a bit of orange and biscuit. Taste is sweet with a bitter finish, simple but clean and wonderfully refreshing. More than the sum of its parts.

draught at the Black Horse Sidmouth. Amber colour, mid-sized head. Malty with hints of caramel, shy hoppy touch. Very nice and smooth.

Cask at the Falcon (JDW),High Wycombe. Golden-amber with a moderate white head. Tastes of orange with a little grapefruit, good bright fresh flavours. Well balanced and tasty, Otter do seem to know what they’re doing.

Light cloudy ale with a mild and pleasant fruit aroma, although is lacking somewhat in this taste.
