It comes in a box so it has to be nice
Well thats my impression when I see it on the shelf, the combination of the box and the suggestion of using a glass (as part of its sampling suggestion) lends this to being a classy beer.
My taster remarked on the strength of the beer, and to be honest it probably tastes stronger then it really is, due to the whiskey taste and smell the beer has. Probably in no small part thanks to the use of whiskey barrels during the production process.
To sum up: a fine beer which is worth while picking up from your local super market.
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:
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.
With many thanks to my parents, I’m currently enjoying a couple of Pints of Pistons Bitter from the Beer Engine in Devon. Taking full advantage of the take away service they have. Sadly its losing its life a little as its been more then three hours since purchase, but the fact that its still frinkable really does speak volumes for the smooth tase of this beer.
