Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt
Made from heritage two-row Maris Otter barley and traditionally floor malted, this iconic malt imparts rich, sweet malty and toffee notes.
Revered since the 1960s, it’s ideal for cask ales and infusion mashing, offering classic English ale character with unrivalled depth and flavour. Maris Otter was the dominant barley variety in the 1970’s, and remained on the NIAB Recommended list until 1989. It is typically low in nitrogen (protein) which makes it perfectly suitable for traditional English ale type, single temperature infusion mashing. Although modern barley varieties have higher yields on farm, it is still grown on contract and prepared into malt for many traditional and craft brewers who are prepared to pay the premium.
