Guinness Red

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

Draught@Apple Tree Inn, Quorn. Brown beer with a reddish tinge and a very strong white head. The aroma is roasted, and the flavour is roasted and bitter. Overall a very nice drink.

Yeah well boo sucks to you all, as a quaffable pint to drink over and over, it really works. I think it has established itself as my new drink of choice, besides it beats most of the other crap they have at most pubs. Not as nice as guinness but easier to drink, the point i think, though.

Tastes just like Guinness really but not quite as good, still has the guinness bitterness and is quite nice and an interesting alternative.

A Sim rate (draft at the Turf Tavern): Smells slightly creamy and sweet... and bit like cream cheese. Very porter-like. Cherry and slightly metallic. Decent, actually. Nothing to write home about, but better than the watery British golden beers I’ve been drinking all day.

Draught, pours with the customary solid white head, and with a translucent copper body. Still the dark roasted malt and hops, and decent enough on tbe palate, although it won’t escape the accusations of being a Guinness Lite. Not as bad as I had feared, but not nearly as good as the illustrious ’brother’.

(Draught) Dark red colored, thick medium sized "Guinness-head". Aroma is lot like basic version: cream, caramel, smooth sweetness and fruitiness, hints of raspberry comes up too. Flavor is also creamy with slight hops, sweetness and caramel.

Sold as Corcoran’s Celtic Red in an Irish pub in Winterberg (!). Tap. Malt, biscuit and nutmeg in the aroma. Bittersweet, malty, biscuity flavor with some earthy hops and raisin. Not too bad.

Draught from O’ Neill’s. Dark amber/mahogany in colour topped with the trademark off white foam. Nose of roasted malt with a taste to match. Slightly sweet with underlying bitter hop and barley notes that shine through. Baking chocolate comes to mind. More watery than expected but enough creamy Guinness character to just about pull it off. I had two pints from the same pump only poured by two different people. The first was actually quite nice but the second, as mentioned by most, was tasteless and I think the glass was a bit grimey by the way the bubbles clung to it. Anyway, still a nice twist on a classic.
