Description
We, Sharp’s Brewery, are a modern brewer of cask and bottled beer based in Rock, Cornwall, and owner of the UK’s number one cask and bottled beer, Doom Bar. We’ve grown rapidly to become the largest brewer of cask beer in the South West.

Sharp's Brewery was founded in 1994 by Bill Sharp. The brewery has been through three phases – from a small micro brewery, to a larger facility within the same building and finally to the current phase that has seen the Brewery extend its premises to accommodate more vessels and increase its brewing capacity. Since 2011, the brewery has been owned by Molson Coors.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet wtih notes of alcohol and malt. The flavor is sweet malty and quite boring, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. The body is thin inspite of the alcohol notes.

Copper colour with a lasting creamy off-white head. Malt, grains, apple and a hint of grassy hops in the aroma. Malty, caramel sweet flavour, with a little roast dryness. Could use more balancing hops.

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at the Lamb and Flag, Oxford on the Ratebeerian day around Oxford 09-02-08 [/i] [/b] Poured amber with small head. Malt on the aroma, slightly sharpish maltiness if you’ll pardon the unintentional pun (if that is a pun?) fruity and tangy in the mouth, I’m not that fussed if truth be known.

Cask conditioned handpull at Market Porter. Chestnut colour with lasting beige head. A slightly sulphury aroma soon burns off. Some sherbert. Fullish, creamyish. Some fruit. A little bit earthy, but this really nice sharp sherbert hop comes up on the finish. Odd, I don’t like the first hit, but the swallow and finish are good.
