Commercial Description:
Guinness Toucan Brew is a great product that has all the characteristics you would expect from Guinness Draught, but the triple hopped brewing technique delivers a smoother, crisp taste that invigorates the palate.

21/05/06. Tried this side by side with a real Guinness, both fresh, at the Gravity bar, Dublin and my main thought what is the point? Maybe marketing had too much say in this. Grains a little more prominent but why the effort if it is not going to be too different.

I’ve always been more of a Murphy’s Stout fan than Guinness due to the Murphy’s being a little bit on the sweet side. This Toucan Brew reminds me more of the sweeter flavor of the Murphy’s than a regular draught Guinness Stout.

On nitro tap at most bars around Ireland right now. Has the traditional guinness mascot - the toucan on the tap handle. I was excited at first to try this, so i asked the bartender what this stuff was and if it was any good. He told me that It was just like guinness except it tasted more like water. Well, he was damn right. This poured the exact same light black- moslty jsut a deep ruby color and a creamy nitro head that fades. Aroma is almost non-existant, nothing good to it, nothing bad. Flavor wasnt there either, besides maybe a touch of sweetness and a dry finish. Watery body. Complete crap. What a waste of money.
