Gixxus Christ! Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 If you're like me, you were excited for a new beer made by this old brewer. You expected it to be some delicious malty mouthgasm. Don't be like me.This is a $9 6 pack of mediocrity. It's guiness by name only, and even the guiness stout you get here in the states is brewed in Canada from concentrate made in ireland.The blonde is brewed in Latrobe pa...the city that sold out rolling rock to busch. Head retention is nil. Almost no malt flavor. Overpowering cider notes from what I guess is rice or corn adjuncts. Hop notes are bitter and flat, almost no aroma. Very little hops flavor....Overall it's an overpriced bud ice. If you care about how your beer tastes save your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Good to see the ,blonde is no different that the Black Lager they put out last year. I had 1 bottle of that and thiought it was pure shite. Guiness as a whole is down near the bottom and living on name alone in the US, IMO. The stout is only good for Car Bombs. So many stouts that are so much more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I bought a trial run 6pk of this stuff, and it's a decent beer if it isn't compared to other Guiness counterparts. I'm no connoisseur of brew, but I thought it wasn't too bad. I'm a bigger fan of Belgian wheat brews, never dug the knife and forkiness of stouts. But Sam is right, it's nothing special. This is purely a ploy by Guiness to reel in drinkers ( like me ) who dont typically buy their shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I love a good stout. Guiness is ok but there are much better stouts to be had. Nitro milk stout from left hand is excelent, as is Youngs chocolate stout or pretty much anything from samuel smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Love me some milk stout but I personally wouldn't put Youngs chocolate stout up there with Left Hands stout. Good review though, thanks! I might have to give the blonde a try to see if I come to a similar conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 It was essentially exactly what I thought it would be. It reminded me of yuengling which was what I expected. Nothing special and I won't be buying it again but it was worth the try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Its A light lager. just as described. hence the Blonde. I thought it was decent. Id drink it again although I wouldnt buy it. it was too citrusy for my liking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Lagers just aren't good. I'd prefer an ale every day of the week.I have no comment on this beer, just beer itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I like a good Vienna lager or a marzen....even a pilsner. I also enjoy a good ale. There aren't many beers I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were at least witty or original it would be entertaining to me. I'm no beer snob, I'll drink natty ice or keystone light and smile while I do it, I just have a higher appreciation for beers with flavor. It's cool if you don't get it, it's not your thing...which begs the question: wtf are you doing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
