Ruddy brown...tan head...the aroma stings my nostrils a bit...malty vinegar aroma...roasted cracker jack flavor...watery and unbalanced...finish is putrid, as if these brewers left the malts on the fire too long, try again

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 16 Nov 2007) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, orange peel and earthy hops. Malty taste with dried fruit, citrus and earthy hops. Slightly above medium body. A good deal of malt sweetness shining through with a warming whiff of alcohol in the finish. Nice beer.

Cask at the William Morris (JDW), Hammersmith. Deep gold with a cream head; autumnal aromas, apple and malt; smooth and tasty, apple then deeply bitter with earthy malts; leading to some fruity sweetness and then a dry finish.

Thanks to Bill at 3 Sons Dogs and Suds in Wexford. How about the name of this stuff? Big 16.9 oz bottle. Initally a rather tart aroma greets the nose when you pop the lid. Brownish iced tea color with a swirling haze, probobly due to the unfiltered gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Rather smooth and friendly on the initial palte, lacks any terrible bitterness. Decent creamy carbonation. I was bracing myself but now I am pleasantly surprized. Does not seem to have anything near the alky content listed here. It hides it well with the creamy laid back refined taste. Very well made civilized bitter, I must admit. Good manners and fun to drink, glad i tried this. Finish is mildly bitter and lingering for a short time but it is well controlled as with the taste throughout the sesssion.

500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma is slightly citrus/lemon with some yeast. Flavor is refreshing, a bit sourish, a litte hint of sweet malt and a relatively floral bitter finish. Nice and easy to drink but not to exiting.

Pours hazy amber into an English pint. White head quickly subsides to pancake surface. Caramel and resin aromas. Silky with upfront caramel and a lasting sour malt finish.

Biggish white head. Hazy pale yellow body. Light caramelly and resiny, herbal aroma. Dry, yet sweetish, caramelly resiny herbal taste with honeyish notes. Mealy, chalky feel to it. Dry herbal resiny aftertaste. A nice beer, and I seem to recall the other Otter beers are rather like this one. (0.5l bottle from Centra, Oslo.)
