Description
Maris Otter is a barley variety, not a brand, and six maltsters sell a pale ale malt made from it — which is why a recipe naming it names a class. Lower in enzyme than a modern high-yield variety and richer for it: the nutty, biscuit depth English bitter is built on. The median of the eleven Maris Otter rows here.
