Guinness Red

Brewed by St. James’s Gate (Diageo)
Style: Bitter
Dublin, Ireland

Serve in English pint

Brown/red colored pour. Big white head. Of course it was nitro’d. A slight roasty aroma. Not much taste. Like a diluted real beer. Won’t be pursuing this one again.

UPDATED: NOV 4, 2011 on tap in Liverpool - nice red body with minimum head - VERY waterish - hardly any aroma any tast like very thin coffe

Keg draught, The Dry Dock, Leicester. Watered down Guinness. Appearance is just like regular Guinness although slightly lighter, with more red hue showing through. Watery bitterness. Okay, but I’d prefer a regular Guinness.

Draught at the Dry Dock, Leicester. Pffff. A bit like Guinness. But weaker. Err. Drinkable in an ITV sort of way. Ag ag.

draft: differs from Guinness Draught in that the barley used is lightly roasted, basically a more watery version of Guinness Draught, rather bland really, some caramel & malt but almost like someone actually diluted it with water, I only agree because I don’t like regular Guinness, so less flavour is not that terrible to me but this is pointless really, if you don’t like Guinness but you feel the strange obligation to drink it, you want to try this but that is just weird

Nitro draft at a pub in London. Clear brownish red pour, creamy off-white head. Caramel malt, light sweetness, and a bit of herbal hops. Another boring selection, but still quite drinkable. Creamy nitro body.

Nitro keg at the Rose & Crown, Old Hill. Pours deep red brown with Guinness head. Aroma is just not there, some vary faint, watery malt. Nowt to start, some roasted malt to finish. Bland. Watery crap all round.

Draught O’Neills Northampton. A nitroed dark ruby coloured beer with a whitish head and thick lacing. A malty fruity clean and pretty tasteless beer brewed for those who know no better. Nothing to harm but boring.
