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.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Tesco. Pours clear light brown with a quickly fading off-white head. Sweet and bready, some toasted malts, ripening berries, suggestions of caramel, leaves. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more toasted malts, mild earthy bitterness, semi-ripe dark fruits. So so overall.

330ml bottle from Rick Stein's shop in Cornwall. Pours golden orange, foamy white head. Herbal fennel coming through nicely on the nose, pairing with a pleasant, balanced Belgian yeast to taste, works nicely.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Tesco. Pours totally clear honey-gold with a creamy, white topping. Lightly sweet, nicely malty, some semi-ripe oranges, biscuits, low bitterness, honey. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, malty, more citrus, soft piney accents. Easy drinking stuff.

Draft @ Parkdean Resort, Lizard Point. I never thought I‘d end up in a place like this yet here we are. Clear gold with a short-lived white head. Mild aroma of citrus fruits. Taste of faint citrus fruits and a little bit of malt. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Definitely one of the most tasteless and lifeless Ales I ever encountered.

Cask @ Cobweb Inn, Boscastle. Clear dark mahagony with a tiny white head. Aroma of dried fruits and malts. Taste of fruit drops, toffee, dried fruits, malts, berries and some herbs. Moderate but lasting bitterness. Low carbonation. Nice.
