Otter Ale

Otter Ale

Best Bitter 4.5%
Otter Brewery (Honiton, Devon)

Otter Ale is where it all started. A premium ale must have full flavour and a fair strength without compromise. These two characteristics must be so cleverly balanced, that when the glass is returned to the table after that first slurp, a sigh of appreciation should be heard around the bar.
