Otter Creek Brewing Roundup

Otter Creek Brewing makes two lines of beer, the other being Wolaver's Organic Ales. Most of beers marketed under the main line were decent and drinkable, without any bad flavors but also unexceptional, like the organics. As with the beers sampled under the last round of testing, several of these were pretty old and may not have had optimal flavor - especially the Copper Ale, which poured completely flat. I will get some fresh product and do a re-taste later in the summer.

Notes: Otter Creek recently installed a new bottling line for both of their brands. As of my last trip to the bevvy the new labels don't have date codes on them anywhere, nor do the bottles. In a few months the lack of dates could be seriously frustrating.
