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.

Clear pale straw colour with a bubbly white head and a soft aroma of apples. Somehow manages to be both sweet and dry, sweet green apples up-front, refreshing and fizzy with a dry finish

From cask at 4,2 % ABV at the Marquis of Granby with people from the Psychology Department at Goldsmiths 24.03.22. Clear golden. Fairly persistent white head and lacing. Some aroma and taste of ripe pale malt, citrus and papaya. There is a hint of wet gym socks, but that may as well come from the wall-to-wall carpet in the pub.

Keg at Good Intent, Puttenham. Aroma combined citrus with sweet doughy malts. Slightly sickly IMO. Fizzy clear gold body. Thick creamy white head. Medium citrus sourness. Some grainy bitterness. A hint of sweet juice. Light bodied. Thin. Flat-Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Would be nice a refreshing on a hit day I guess, thanks to being crisp, thin and watery.

Not great, weak flavour and aroma. Seemed low on carbonation and the head lasted about 60seconds.

50cl bottle from SuperAlko, Tallinn. Pours clear amber with a modest, white head. Malty and caramelly with mild hoppy notes. Sweet, but somewhat balanced and ends up fairly drinkable in the end.

Bottle. Dark clear amber/mahagony with a small beige head. Aroma of malts and lemons with some herbal notes. Taste of malts, brown sugar, toffee, dried red fruits and lemons. Low bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels that this has got more in common with that cheap Kvass that’s sold in 1,5 litre bottles in the Russian supermarket than the OG Doom Bar. Still a very enjoyable refreshing and easy drinking non-alcoholic beer.

Two cask pints @ The Corbet Arms, Shrewsbury, after a slippery muddy ride up Haughmond Hill with the TMBB crew. Pours clear amber, good off-white collar atop. Aroma of amber malts. Fairly smooth, light palate presenting a decent chestnutty amber, softly sweet with mild fruity hints. Not bad.

500ml bottle from Stonemanor, The British Store near Brussels. F: medium, egg-white, good retention. C: amber, clear. A: malty, bit caramel, nice hoppy, bready touch. T: medium malty base, light bready, bit caramel, not so hoppy as in the aroma, soft carbonation, ok for the style, drinkable.
