Maris Otter Finest Ale Malt

Specially selected low protein Maris Otter is malted to produce a characterful and flavoursome malt. The principal ingredient in premium cask and UK style ales, this malt provides a sweet, bready and rich flavour to the beer that only Maris Otter can. 

This is one of our finest two-row winter barley ale malts that is produced utilising one of the UK’s oldest brewing varieties to meet the niche requirements of a growing number of dedicated craft brewers who choose Maris Otter® malt as the base of many of the great traditional British-style beers they produce.

This malt is produced from the cream of the Maris Otter® crop, selecting some of the lowest protein barley grown by farmers keen to support the traditions of the variety. This then allows our master maltsters to produce a very traditional low protein malt, which is packed with character and flavour. Replicating the original style of Maris Otter® malts that our maltsters would have produced 50 years ago when the variety was first grown, harnessing purely the farmer’s skill and knowledge of his land.
