This won 3rd place of 15 entries in the local Brew Hut Homebrew contest, in the English and Brown Ales category.

While I often brew very hoppy ales, this one is much closer to a traditional English Bitter or Special Bitter - far less hoppy. As a result it is one of my wife's favorites to date. I would like to try it again using the new Maris Otter extract as well, but this still has an excellent Maris Otter malt characteristic taste.While the idea for using Maris Otter and doing a partial mash is mine, credit for the design of this ale certainly goes to the folks at Central Street Farmhouse in Bangor, Maine. They are always most helpful and I highly recommend paying them a visit if you are in the area.
