Maris Otter
The classic English pale ale base — biscuity depth.
Description
An English winter barley released in 1965, prized for the rich biscuit-bread flavor it brings to English ales. Uses up to 100% as the sole base in bitters, ESBs, milds, porters. Pricier than 2-row but worth it for traditional English styles.
