Description
The name of our brand, Guineu, means fox in Catalan. This small mammal, common in our lands, has to be cunning to survive.

At Cervesa Guineu we understand beer as a product made with passion, which needs to be looked after from beginning to end. Our main premise is having absolute respect for our ingredients and natural brewing process. Craft beer means to explore, to surprise the palate with new and different nuances.

Located in an early 20th century building, in the textile colony of Valls de Torroella in the Barcelona province. Our brewery stands by the Cardener river. At present, our premises have a total area of 750m2, where the whole process of creation of our beers takes place. It all begins with an initial idea, followed by the design and creation of each recipe, until we actually brew it and finally package it. All this to offer you the finest possible product.

0.75l bottle @ RBNAG11. Pours a dark brown body with a small sidesticking off-white head. Aroma is quite hoppy! Is this a sweet stout? Some light roastiness and hints of some chocolate and caramel. Average carbonation and a lovely creamy mouthfeel! Flavors has a light sour touch, sweet caramel and some ripe almost yeasty fruits. Ends dry with tones of sweet chocolate. A nice little surprise there!

A hazed yellow with a thick white head. In aroma, a smooth hops, resinous and grassy. In mouth, a grassy and granulat hops, green, crisp malts, clovers, a bit thin but interesting. On tap at Deep Ellum, Oct. 8 2011.

Bottle 33cl. Dark brown with beige head, not very persistent. Aroma to chocolate and coffee. Medium sweetness and some coffee taste. Moderate body with a little bit carbonation. Not very hopped in the aftertaste. Any way one of the best dark beer brewed for a microbrew in Spain.

10oz pour at Churchkey. I wasn’t sure about this beer. Is it a gimmick? Absolutely. Was it good? Absolutely. Poured a really pale, watery yellow color with a medium-small white head. Aroma is mostly bitter hops, with a touch of floral notes. For 93 IBUs, I’d think I’d enjoy this a bit more if the IBUs were a bit lower.

330 ml bottle. Murky brown body with a diminishing tan head. Aroma is light roasted caramel malt, chocolate and hint of liquorices. Flavor is mild roasted malt, caramel and some fruitiness with a decent bitter aftertaste. Feels soft, mild and plain, but a bit unusually at the same time. Not outstanding but fair enough drinkable.

4oz pour at Max’s Rare and Obscure Beer Week Part 4. Pours a watery, translucent, almost black with a thin, eggshell head. Nose is sweet, sugary, almost like an under baked batch of cookies. Flavor is malty, sweet, an artificial chocolate flavor like Tootsie rolls. Something is just a bit off. Medium bodied, sweet finish.

Bottle. Orange/grapefruit hops aroma. Hazy golden yellow color with small head. Bittersweet orange/grapefruit peel and light malt flavor. Light smokey/ashy finish. Very good - best under 4% beer outside the UK.

Bottle. Apple, orange, cinnamon, toffee malt and pine hops aroma. Cloudy medium brown color with minimal head. Sweet, slightly smokey toffee malt flavor initially followed by a strong bitter pine hops finish. Complex - not really true to style but a very nice beer nevertheless.

Bottle. Peach and toffee malt aroma. Cloudy brown-orange color with minimal head. Sweet peach, clove, coriander and toffee malt. Low carbonation. Very nice - a nice change of pace from the typical Spanish beer.

Bottle from Star Grocery in Berkeley. Pours light gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is a bit bread, and there seems to be fruity hop. Med body with frothy/foamy carb. It’s actually quite bitter. Seems to be mostly noble hop bitter, but maybe a little fruit. The flavor strength is pretty amazing.
