TLAP: Doom Bar Zero

You know the drill by know: a beer was required to accompany a Friday night pizza. Alcohol was not required. Hence...

Doom Bar Zero

What's it like? This hits the spot pretty well, an amber ale that looks, smells and tastes right. I've talked on here before about the risks of trying to neuter an existing beer but Sharp's have done a good job here, replicating the taste of their very successful Doom Bar, whilst removing the headache factor. What of the taste then? The brewery website describes it as "subtle yet complex" so make of that what you will. All I can tell you is that it's a bit fruity, quite moreish and, if you like Doom Bar, this is close enough for you to like too.

Would I drink it in a pub? Yes.

Would I drink more than one? Yes.

Would I drink it all night? Probably.

A song, then. Obviously it's going to be Gay Bar by Electric Six, for the child's play rewording that would enable you to sing "Doom Bar" should you feel so inclined. Plus it has a typically barking video, so win-win.
