REVIEW - Doombar

Beer - Doombar
Brewery - Sharp's
Strength - 4.3%
Type - Amber Ale

I had heard a lot about Doombar so I was happy to finally get my hands on a bottle. I have heard this described as an Amber Bitter but I find that it has as much in common with a good Bitter as a bumblebee.

It's dark golden in colour, and light in flavour, and has a boastful fruity taste. So fruity in fact that any hints of depth or fullness in flavour are almost completely masked.
It's not all bad though as it is very refreshing, and is not too sharp despite the fruity taste. It may complement a lazy Mid-summer afternoon well, but there are other ales I would rather sit in front of the grill with.
