Sharp's Doom Bar
This falls into the list of beers I have drunk before on multiple occasions. But do I actually like it or did I just buy it because it was on offer?
Details
- Amber ale 4.3% ABV
- 440ml can
From the website:
Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours. This creates an amber ale which is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.
AROMA: Spicy resinous hop, sweet roasted malts.
TASTE: Balanced, succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malt.
FINISH: Moreish, subtle bitterness.
FOOD PAIRING: Great with battered seafood like calamari, grilled white fish or pork. Also awesome with Sunday roasts.
Expectations
I've drunk it before but it is another one that I can't remember. I think I like it though. Anyway, it's been in the fridge and it is a hot day so I am really looking forward to it.
Experience
It's a nice reddish shade of amber, with not much head. There isn't much smell, just a bit sweet and malty.
The taste is bitter, and gave me a slight citrus flavour. It is quite refreshing, though I would not want to drink a lot of it in one sitting.
Verdict
4/5 : It's nice enough, but I wouldn't immediately reach for another one.
