Simpsons Malt · Flavour and use

Low Colour Maris Otter Malt delivers the same iconic biscuity depth and full-bodied character as Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter, but with a lighter colour (max 3.5 °EBC). This makes it perfect for brewers seeking Maris Otter’s signature malty richness in paler styles like Golden Ales, Pale Ales, Hazy IPAs and New England IPAs, where malt complexity is desired without deepening the beer’s hue. When comparing it to Low Colour Golden Promise, Low Colour Maris Otter has a more pronounced biscuit character and a touch more structure while, against Extra Pale Ale Malt, it offers more depth, making it an excellent choice for modern pale beers that still need a hint of malt complexity. Rich Malty Whole, Milled (Fine), Milled (Coarse)
