Jul 29, 2006 Draught.
Normal Guinness outlook: perfect pint. Mild aroma. This is like Guinness Draught but has less roasted malts and less hops. Smooth, good body. Sweeter than GD - something between dry and sweet stout. I had earlier today a pint of Guinness Draught at St John’s Gate as comparision.

Sep 21, 2006 Mild, herbal, light hop nose. Clear brown body with ruby highlights topped by a dense, fine bubbled, meringuelike, off white head that coats the glass and stands tall. Caramel malts, some chocolate and fair finishing bitterness. Much sweeter than the regular Guinness Draught but still has a very dry finish. Medium body with lively effervescence. Sampled on (nitro) tap at the Ha’penny Bridge Inn in Dublin (May-06).

Jun 7, 2006 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.

Oct 11, 2006 Draught in Dublin. Same apperance as the ordinary Guinness, but I cannot find any increased hoppiness. It appears more thin and watery, like a Guinness ligt. Most of the elements are there, but less of the roasted malt. A little sourness in the finish, maybe that was the extra hops?

Jul 24, 2006 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.

Mar 28, 2007 This by far is the best of the brewhouse series to date, pity they retired it, had a nice punchy raste and was lighter than Guinness, a good stout for after meals or long sessions

Dec 7, 2006 I treid this beer in Ireland. I of course gave it a five for appearance, because there is nothing prettier than a poured Guinness!
