Doombar

[MashBag]

Last week had some friends round, that I knew liked doombar. Have a recipe but time & life etc got in the way.

So I bought 4 tins.
They drank my house IPA, loved it, and I was left with the tins.

Poured one last night.
What utter sh1te. If I had made that I would be ashamed.
Mrs Mash suggested "tip it down the sink and get a proper one"

Caramel, some fizz with alcohol.
If this is modern beer I can see why the youth are going teetotal. Seriously. No actual faults just utter sh1te.

Been a while since i tried a Doobar , but in general any time I am forced to purchase a 'branded' beer at supermarket prices I know that its going to taste a lot worse than what I can produce and at comparatively an expensive cost.

When we venture out these days we seek out the tap rooms and micro breweries to try and support local producers and have something half decent!

I had a can of Doombar at the cinema last night because of limited beer choice.

I don't think it is a *terrible* beer, but there is nothing great about it and I wouldn't normally buy it. In a sane world you would find Adnams Southwold everywhere, which is about the same gravity and a much, much nicer version of the same beer. But Doombar is clearly designed for mass appeal, which is why it is rather nondescript. That said, I would rather drink Doombar than a good number of murky craft beers that the youths lap up!
