This is very classic Guinness. Dark pour with that creamy tan head that sits perfectly on top. I don’t agree with the people that say it’s indistinguishable from Guinness Draught because this is noticeably sweeter. But the profile is very similar with light roasted malts, chocolate, a touch sour. The sweetness is the differentiation. This is my go-to NA beer.

Beautiful thick lasting head with dancing bubbles like a Guiness pour. Copper red color. Mild toasted malt and woody aroma. Leans bitter with a floral earthy hop bitterness. Caramel sweetness of an Irish red intensifies as the beer warms. Woody taste at the finish.

Hazy golden pour and a fine head.
Not to sweet and a fine carbonation level
Malty, mild bread, mild citric and herbal

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.

Nice red with creamy foam. Really mild malty aroma. Mild taste, malt, with burned sugar aftertaste, that grows. Soupy texture.

Poured from 440mL can (pkg 23/02/2025) in a Bella Coola hotel room from the grocery store. Clear dark brown with slowly dissipating nitro widget pour and nice light beige head. Mild watery sweet roast malt with an feint odd artificial flavouring note. Thin bodied, but okay non-alc stout.
