Doom Bar is a Cornish Amber ale from Sharp’s. It has a distinctive and popular taste so will their ‘Zero” version get near to it? Read on for my Doom Bar Zero Review

Doom Bar Zero review

Brewery – Sharp’s

Country – UK

Style – Amber Ale

ABV – 0.0%

KCal – 13 (100ml)

Sugar content – 1.1 (100ml)

Carbohydrate content – 3.2 (100ml)

Tasting – Id just done a bit of digging and needed something this quenching. This hit the spot.

Its got a lovely dark colour for an amber ale. Beautiful roasted hop taste, almost some coffee/chocolate to it. A bit of a bitterness on the end but its just enough, it doesn’t go overboard. For a 0.0% with low sugar it backs the flavour in nicely and not at all thin or watery feeling.

Caramel! A sort of mildly burnt but pleasant caramel taste. I was trying to think of it there for ages.

Verdict – 8/10. Perhaps not a session beer but for 0.0%, low sugar there is just heaps of hoppy, caramel flavour. Unmistakably a good amber ale.

Sharp’s Notes

Story

At the mouth of the Camel Estuary in Rock, lies the treacherous Doom Bar sandbank, the inspiration for this moreish amber ale.

The sandbank is revered as a formidable nautical challenge that should be approached with respect and navigated with skill.

Aroma

Spicy resinous hop, sweet roasted malt.

Taste

Balanced, succulent dried fruits, lightly roasted malt

Finish

Moreish, subtle bitterness
