Two years following the original collaboration which created Chalky’s Bite - Rick Stein asked Sharp’s once again to work with him in creating a unique new beer. This time, the novel ingredient would be ginger. In Chalky’s Bark, ginger works in synergy with continental hops and gives a spicy lemon-fruit nose. The heat of ginger lifts the gently-sweet body and contrast beautifully with citrus fruitiness in the mouth. As with Chalky’s Bite it is conditioned in the brewery and in the bottle for four months.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a white head and lively carbonation. Hoppy aroma with some appealing hints of ginger. Spicy taste with the ginger standing out and giving it a nice bite (no pun intended!). Very enjoyable and refreshing.

330ml, bottle conditioned, bought at Utobeer and drunk on my hotel room in Earls Court. Clear, golden body. Modest bubbly, white head. Fresh smell of floral hops with a spicy hint. Dry and fruity flavour with a lighter ginger touch. Discreet bitter finish. Semi-sweet and soft carbonated. A thirst quenching session beer (London, 04.08.2009).
