Imagine a piece of beautifully polished mahogany and you’ve got the deep, rich tones of Otter Ale. The malty aroma and hints of fruit provide a first clue to the flavour but the taste goes further and finishes in a strong combination of fruit and some bitterness.
Relaxing with an Otter is a pastime enjoyed by Devonians and visitors alike. Now it's in bottles, Otter Ale can also be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. It's a real fireside beer that blends some of Devon's best Maris Otter Malt, English Fuggles and Challenger hops and is then lovingly brewed with our very own water from the head springs of the River Otter - the perfect taste of Devon.
A classic award-winning ale, Relax with an otter

Cask at The Village Inn, Westward Ho! Plain aroma. Reddish colour. Homely flavour like an English strong ale without the booze - aka ESB vibes! Easy with gentle spice to it.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy reddish-brown with a small scummy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts, though there are a few hints of caramel. Malts again prominent in the mouth where it is sweet with a creamy texture. Autumn fruits and hints of hops too. Finish is slightly fruity. This is decently swiggable.
