Guinness Blonde Lager

Guinness Blonde Lager. 5 % ALc./Vol. Brewed and canned by the Guinness Brewing Company, Latrobe, PA.

Clear, golden toned, slim white head.

In the nose: Thin, slight, corn-y, vegetal, grainy. Eh.

In the mouth: Lightness. Water. Barest wisp of malt. Nothing else. Oh, wait, here it comes. Second sip, getting more citrus from hops. And a little more than a bare wisp of malt. Not bad, after all. Tasting like a classic blonde lager, and you can drink it.

Brewed with North American ingredients, including Pacific Northwest hops, as well as our classic Guinness yeast, Guinness Blonde is a crisp, golden beer. It has a noticeable but gentle hop aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, clean cracker-bread malt flavor and a pleasantly bitter refreshing finish. Brewed at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House in Baltimore, Maryland.
