The original Doom Bar has been one of the most poured cask ales in the UK for years, so the 0.0% version carries some expectation. It pours warm amber with a modest off-white head. Spicy resinous hops come through on the nose alongside sweet roasted malt and a light biscuit note underneath. On the palate it holds its balance reasonably well. Dried fruit sweetness and lightly roasted malt sit together without either taking over, and there's enough hop bitterness to keep it from going cloying. Medium body, steady carbonation, clean finish with a subtle linger. It's the kind of AF amber that doesn't draw attention to itself, which in this category is often exactly what you want.
