Optic

Grain in the fields

Optic can be used as the main ingredient in Bitters, Milds and Stouts, producing consistent and well modified wort within the standard Ale colour range. The wort produced tends to be sweet and flavourful. Optic also produces highly aromatic qualities.

Used by Marston's Brewery for their Old Empire Casked IPA.

A floor-malted barley malt from a single barley variety (Optic), and produced by a centuries-old, family-owned maltster. Optic is another malt considered to be one of the last of the traditional English Pale malt varieties still produced in the UK. Adds a degree of biscuit flavor. Brighter and lighter in flavor than Pearl, a great malt for the production of Real Ales.
