Otter Ale Pup

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 1 customer rating
(1 customer review)

£31.00

4.5% ABV. A premium ale with full flavour and a fair strength. Mahogany in colour with malty aroma and hints of fruit.

Otter Ale is where it all started. A premium ale must have full flavour and a fair strength without compromise. These two characteristics must be so cleverly balanced, that when the glass is returned to the table after that first slurp, a sigh of appreciation should be heard around the bar.

Imagine a piece of beautifully polished mahogany and you’ve got the deep, rich tones of Otter Ale. The malty aroma and hints of fruit provide a first clue to the flavour but the taste goes further and finishes in a strong combination of fruit and some bitterness.

Description

4.5% ABV. A Premium ale with full flavour and a fair strength.  Mahogany in colour with a malty aroma and hints of fruit.

An Otter Pup is a 5 litre mini cask filled straight from our fermenting vessels.  This means that it will dispense approx 8 proper pints, but you will need to let it sit for a while to allow the yeast to settle out (preferably overnight).  Once you have opened your pup please drink within 3-5 days and remember to close the top stopper between ‘sessions’.

Remember to look after your Pup – its ideal temperature is 12 degrees Centigrade, but a wet towel over it will help.

Pups are delivered direct to your door by courier.  They leave here on Monday – Thursday.

Customers comments:

“First time I have ordered a Pup from Otter Brewery and well pleased I am. I ordered Otter Ale and it is really good.”

“quick delivery and ale in good condition”

“Brought this for my Dad for the second Father’s Day in a row. He is a huge fan of Otter Ale and loves the Pup! Delivery was super fast and was informed every step of the way!”

“Takes me straight back to Devon every time a nice few pints of Otter Ale. Great delivery as well”

“Top Notch as always! Quick delivery! Thank you once again – definitely recommend!!”

“Only a shame there isn’t a higher rating to be honest. Got to be one of the best beers I’ve drunk at home out of a keg. Tasty, fresh, perfect in every way. Plus it’s one of the tastiest beers full stop. Would order again any time.”

“I bought an Otter Ale pup for a family barbeque and loved it. Every bit as good as your pub drawn pint. Needs to settle in the location that you are going to use it and keeping cool out of the sun but well worth the effort.”

“First tasted Otter ale in a few pubs around Teignmouth, Devon whilst visiting family. As i live in the North West and obviously unable to buy the brew locally, i need my regular fix of this ‘nectar’ of an ale. NEVER disappoints !!”

“Fantastic service from the magnificent Otter Brewery delivering one of the worlds greatest ales……. Otter Ale!”

“What a truly fabulous delivery service! Arrived really quickly and in time for my husband’s birthday, despite ordering a little later than I probably should have! The Pups are just the right size to give as a gift and the ale is superbly kept within them. 10 stars! Thanks so much!”

    Otter Ale has never been outside of my personal ‘top five’ beers (the others being of similar strength and style).
    I was delighted with latest my Otter Ale pup. The prompt dispatch and delivery went without a hitch, and the beer quickly arrived fresh and ready for a couple of days settling in the cool on a stone floor, well ventilated, and in the shade. Not easy to get right in a heatwave. I lightly chilled it for a hour before serving for that ideal ‘cellar’ temperature, resulting in a fresh pint that was served in perfect condition. My sole disappointment on the night was that I had only bought 8 pints of the good stuff, and had to share it! (I have since ordered another pup without hesitation, and will likely slash the guest list next time).
    I am genuinely pleased to award 5 stars for this review
