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.

Can @ home. Hazy orange with no head. Smells hops, quite zesty, alcohol, the bitter white part of an orange peel. Tastes hops, bitter, quite sweet, overripe fruits, quite some pine, alcohol. Slightly warming to the chest. If I had this one at the end of a proper tasting it would be the knock out punch.

Almost clear gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, just a very mild sweetness and a slightly aged tang. Bitter floralness. Bitterish citric peel. Little hop spice. Light finish. Not sure what Guinea are playing at here, tastes like an IPA from 10 years ago!

Can shared at craft beer Co Covent Garden. 20/11/2018. Many thanks to Kenny for this one. A hazed dirty golden orange coloured pour with a a halo of white head. Aroma is sweaty hop, grassy hop, toffee, jammy orange. Sweaty hop. Flavour is composed of semi sweet stale hop, toffee, grainy, solvent, sticky hop. Palate is semi sweet, stale, solvent, moderate carbonation. Not good.

Craft TCR Bottleshare. Can. Hazy gold beer, short lived pale cream colour head. Relatively light palate, semi dry and with decent fine carbonation. Sweetish malts, surprisingly thin, light dry malt cream. Boozy citrus and mild to medium hop spice. Touches of orange peel, tangerine and grapefruit. More hop spice on the light finish. Entertaining but I am the only one who really liked it this evening.

Can shared in London - cheers to Mitch. Pours soupy gold with no head. Sweet, harshly boozy, some caramel, marmalade. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lots of raw alcohol, bready pale malts, more ripe citrus. Not the best.

Can. Hazy amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts provide some modest tangy caramel sweetness. Tangy ripe orange hops. Orange peel bitterness on the dry crisp finish. Hmmm - not doing much for me. Dry and devoid of any hop brightness.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Sorachi Ace hops (the king of hops, if you have any wit) brings a notable lemon peel vibe here, with just modest creamy lemon and bitterish herb. Dry crisp finish. Lemony tangy linger. The mighty Sorachi drags this thin dry beer up by the scrag of its neck and makes into something pretty drinkable. All hail Sorachi!
