Otter Brewery, Beautiful Daze (England) 
This relatively low alcohol "session beer" pours quite a deep golden colour, with a decent white head. It immediately attracts, with plenty of roasted malt aromas, a nice hoppy, herby background, and an appealing sense of citrus freshness. On the palate it is light-bodied, racy and fresh, with clean, citrussy fruit and a big blast of bitter hops surging through. The nalt doesn't really show through in the mouth, leaving this crisp and very refreshing and a lovely understated summery beer. 3.6% ABV, 50cl, �1.75, Beersofeurope, Onlyfinebeer, Sainsbury's. |  |
Otter Brewery, Bright (England)
Brewed with spring water, Devon's Otter Bright is a pale gold beer, with a very thin white head that suggests particularly low carbonation. It is somewhat hazy too, though there is nothing to indicate it is bottle-conditioned. The nose is very appealing, with pear and juicy melon aromas, a creamy suggestion of sweetness and some floral nuances. On the palate it is medium-bodied and very clean and smooth, with crisply-defined apple and sweet pear fruit, a gentle hop quality and nice dry, citrussy finish with a suggestion of ginger ale. Easy to drink and summery. 4.3% ABV, 50cl, �1.75, Beersofeurope, Pitfield Beer Shop, Sainsbury's.  |  |
Otter Brewery, Otter Head (England)
This low-foaming beer from Devon's Otter Brewery pours a dark golden/nut brown colour with a thinnish, off-white head. Malt is the immediate aroma on the nose, with a nice toffee and spice darkness, some hoppy, leafy notes and a suggestion of fennel and liquorice. On the palate it is smooth and medium- to full-bodied, with a real bite of assertive hops dominating, over rich, fudge-like malt. The grip of leafy, iron and mineral hoppiness comes though again, leaving the finish tangy, clean and bitter. 5.8% ABV, 50cl, �1.85, Beersofeurope. | |
