Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

this is an absolutely delicious ipa obviously inspired by the stone brewing co. ipa....aroma is the best part of this ipa...smells like fresh handpicked flowers, not overwhelming, followed by a similar bitterness...this is the 2nd best ipa i have tasted on the west coast, behind only stone...
