Guinness non-alcoholic lager
Who, would have thought you would ever hear those words
associated with the guinness. Like for me, guinness was always
associated with ireland, the big drinking culture you know. That dark
Stout just sitting there and now they've got this
the Guinness Pure Brew!
So this came out of their brewery called, like they have guinness and then they have the open gate brewery and they sort of open that up
To, the public in recent years and they put out a, whole heap of like more experimental beers and
This is one of them and I
read up a little bit about it and it said
They've been working on this beer for two years, two years to get this flavor and
Maybe there'll, be some comments but i've noticed that there's like
Kaliber, and some other brands that elsewhere in the world that are non alcoholic from guinness but this one is produced here in dublin
And it's sold in dublin. I picked this up off the limited release it was distributed to like
250 pubs in dublin and i was lucky to get my hand on one and
from March it's meant to be all over ireland. I guess depending on how the initial rollout, goes maybe it's gonna come
international who knows. But i
don't care at the moment i've got one i'm really keen to open it up and see what these
Like kings of the brewing world have come up with, pretty excited, let's get into it.
First things first let's check out this branding.
Pretty nice bottle it's got some embossing on the glass and then you can see they're pure brew
non-alcoholic lager
guinness harp
0.5%. Alcohol volume 330 mils
This, is like simple modern trendy branding
Few little things on the back, about it
Completely blank top i reckon that might change, ok if this starts taking off and it gets more popular might get its, own cap but
That's what it looks like now.
Smell on this is pretty crazy it's coming out a little bit like corn, but it's very hoppy and
There's a lot of flavor coming out, a lot of flavor
Just from the smell so this is gonna be interesting
nice bits of barley there - this is, yeah this is good
So, that's poured out pretty nicely you can, see it's got a ton of carbonization
able to get a pretty nice head on that. It's a very very pale color, like, super light, straw.
I think it is a bit like the czech pilsners but it's probably a little bit lighter the czech pilsners have a bit of like
golden to them, this is very pale yellow.
Taste on this is pretty good you're getting like heaps of hops out of it a little bit of fruit but not too much and
It's got a nice decent carbonization, which is pretty nice i think
If you've had the nanny state from brewdog, it's super hoppy
This isn't that hoppy.
Which is sort of good because i think this is better for like, a night of drinking rather than just like one drink.
All of this is really good it's got a decent amount of carbonization, that real
like beer feel and it feels good like on the throat as it's going down, it's quite light so
It's not gonna fill you up. Give you a taste for a good bit of like irish food to accompany it so pretty good.
Pretty, good mouthfeel
Yeah, i'm pretty blown away by this beer.
I had big expectations knowing it was from guinness like one of the world's biggest breweries, best known names
and it's just lived up to them, it's delivered a beer that is
Not like trying to do too much but it's not doing too little
so i think one of the reasons it has such good flavor is
It has the special sort of yeast same that they used for causthaler in germany and
for
Birrel in the czech republic, where it doesn't develop into alcohol so,
Well it does, but not that same like, not as quickly and not the same volume so they
Don't have to evaporate off the alcohol, so it gives it that depth of flavor and then it doesn't lose it as they're
evaporating out the alcohol
super good
I could seem me drinking this with, some good irish food
With the mates for you know. A few hours in the pub.
Just you know after a hard day's work whatever the situation lots of situations that this beer can
Deliver super happy that guinness have made this foray into the non-alcoholic
World. I read that the pure brew or open gate brewery, is thinking that to investigate more depending how this goes, so hopefully see few different types coming out over the next
Year, few months who knows.
So that was Guiness pure brew from open, gate brewery. That was a great beer new, reviews coming out every two
days to find the best in the non alcoholic world, subscribe to be a part of it.
