Otter Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pours pale gold with a clean, translucent body and modest carbonation that creates a fine, delicate head. The beer presents bright clarity with good shine, characteristic of a well-conditioned pale ale. Head retention is moderate, with gentle lacing that clings softly to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced resinous quality balanced by citrus and floral notes, a signature of the El Dorado, Amarillo, and Calypso hop blend. Bitter burnt orange mingles with subtle herbal depth, while the Malz foundation provides a quiet, supporting sweetness that prevents the hops from dominating entirely. The overall impression is one of restrained craft—hoppy but not aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and clean, with stone fruit and bitter orange developing across the mid-palate. The Malz character anchors the beer, offering a gentle sweetness that holds up against the hop bitterness without becoming cloying. Bitterness builds steadily through the middle and carries through the swallow, structured and balanced rather than sharp.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering hop bitterness that fades to a dry, slightly resinous aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate ready for another sip, making it well-suited for extended sessions.
