Sharps Non-Alcoholic

Get ready for a shock.

Are you ready?  I mean, are you braced for it?  Yes?  Okay, here goes…

I like this stuff.

Okay, I know my accumulating months of brewski self-depravation may be causing some sort of dementia in my brain, but Sharps is not bad at all.  I doubt I would have said this in December 2009, but here, now, I’m saying it. 

What’s doubly strange is that I like it even though I can sum it up with these three words:  Tangy Barley Water

As with other non-alcoholic reviews I’ve been posting, please bear in mind I am not comparing this to actual beer.  Sharps, such as it is, is not bad.  It’s tangy, has some good satisfying carbonation, and gives you a nice barley flavor spiked with hops.

Not a whole lot of hops, but enough to enjoy.

You could also think of it as beer flavored water.  In a pinch, or in my cause, a drought, it does the trick.

As often as not, that’s all that’s required.
