Simpsons Malt · Flavour and use

Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter Malt is a renowned British heritage malt prized for its rich, biscuity depth and full-bodied character. It provides a warm golden hue (typically 4-6 °EBC) and a distinctively malty backbone, making it the go-to choice for classic British Ales, Bitters, ESBs, Porters and traditional IPAs. Its well-rounded sweetness and slightly toasty undertones give beers a robust yet balanced malt presence, perfect for styles where malt complexity is key. Compared to Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise, Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter is more biscuity and bready, with a fuller mouthfeel and a slightly drier finish, while it is richer and more malty than Best Pale Ale, with a more pronounced toasty depth. Overall, Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter brings a traditional, hearty malt character that remains largely unmatched for authentic, malt-forward British styles.
