Last week we went on a small tour around East Devon, ending up in Budleigh Salterton. It may appear to be a quiet sea side town, but at least it has a decent cheap Threshers. What I was impressed with was the 3 bottles of local beer for 6 quid. We brought three bottles of Otter Beer:
Otter Bright.
Tastes light and looks it as well with its very blond colouring. It does taste very refreshing, but doesn’t have the freatest amount of taste. Possibly a good beer for people who are far too much into Lager, with that in mind – it is a fine beer to have while enjoying the sun.
Otter: Beautiful Daze
I have to admit. I am confused. This is a nice beer – its a good drink, and refreshing, like Otter Bright mentioned above, while having a stronger malty tast. Making it more of a beer that lager lovers may turn down.
But – and here’s the thing I’m confused about. If you buy it on tap in a pub you’ll find it known as Otter Bitter. When I tried Otter Bitter in a pub – I really didn’t enjoy it, I found it boring and tasteless. The only thing I can think of is that the Beautiful Daze was chilled – maybe it was warm in the pub? I can’t remember to be honest.
