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.

overall this is a solid recipe. The ginger is subtle but provides some additional complexity with the Brit yeast used. The beer has a semi-sweet finish, but is not cloying by any means. Hops are balanced. Overall a pretty good beer.
