About
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.

330ml bottle from Waitrose; BBE Mar 2021. Drank at home on 3rd Oct 2020. Black bodied, decent foaming head of beige bubbles. Smooth and malty, but not much coconut in either the nose or taste. Still a pleasant beer though.

Amber with off white head - Malt aroma with hints of hops - Malt body with caramel flavour with hints of hop bitterness to balance - The malt flavour with caramel goes into the finish - This was nice

Bottle from Morrisons, Moston. Clear amber-brown with a small head. A very malty effort, in both aroma and taste, clearly low alcohol.

500ml bottle BBE in 10 months. Pours a copper gold, slight white head. Aroma of dulled citrus hops and roasted malts. Medium to light body, moderate carbonation which doesn’t last long on the palate. Taste is like aroma, a little stale but pleasant enough. Finish is mild bitter and dry. I actually quite like the brew despite the above as its trying something; it’s like a crossover British bitter / imitation American IPA. It doesn’t quite work though, the best notes of both styles have been stymied in pursuit of a balance between the two. I am of course pretending to know what I’m talking about.

Tight light brown head left a spotty cover on a tea coloured still body. Sweet, malt & spiced aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the front with a smoother back. Well balanced tastes of malt, sweet stewed fruit, spices & tea tastes with lightly hopped finish. Standard

Bottle BBE in 11 months. Pours amber, slight beige head that leaves minor lacing but even that dissipates after a while. Aroma of caramel, malts, roastiness, light spicy hop. Low to moderate carbonation, fairly light body a little watery. Taste of toasted malts, sweetness, minor bitterness but no big flavours. I'm finding that some ales are understated but the sum of its parts combine to make a fine beer; other ales are just lacking. I think this is one of the latter.
