Made in Dublin, Ireland at St. James's Gate, Guinness™ Nitro IPA is brewed with Irish barley malt, a touch of roasted barley and five hop varieties — Admiral, Celeia, Topaz, Challenger and Cascade. The Challenger, Cascade and Topaz hops are dry-hopped to accentuate a sharp citrus aroma. The beer's blend of CO2 and Nitrogen helps to balance out the profusion of hop flavors, while also creating the signature surge and settle made famous by Guinness™ Draught. The IPA is brewed with the same unique Guinness yeast strain used to ferment all stouts at St. James's Gate.

It is an average one, not really an IPA that you could imagine, smooth and creamy, discreet roasted malt, hop but not so bitter, buttery, 28.04.18, drinking it at Paris in the Mercure, gare de Lyon, buying it at the monoprix, St-Antoine.

Can. Very, very dark gold. Pours a very foamy, white that quickly dissolves into a cloudy appearance. Aroma is spur e and very light grapefruit. Taste is a piney citrus that’s slightly sweet upfront and a bitter finish.

Can from a local bottle shop. Aroma is dusty with bready malt, berries, caramel, and restrained earthy hop. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. As expected, this has nothing to do with IPA. Dusty and dull.

Can 0,5ltr: Slightly hazy orange colored brew with an dry bitter taste, some hints of citrus and caramel. The IPA feeling is there but very weak, better for Guinness make it an Black IPA out of it.

Meh? Is that enough to describe this beer? Like I was little bit surprised when I found it. I was shocked, when I tasted. Meh all around
