Guinness Drought Stout

Posted on by Evan

I have been watching The House of Guinness on Netflix, which is a good show about the Guinness Brewery and the Guinness family in Ireland. So I decided to review Guinness Draught Stout. This beer is brewed at the St. James Gate brewery in Dublin, Ireland. This dark beer is 4.1% ABV, composed of water, malted barley, roasted barley, regular barley, hops (the type of which is not specified), nitrogen, and yeast. The nitrogen is in a widget inside the can, and that gives this Guinness a smooth texture. This beer pours what looks black at a glance, but when held to some light, it is dark ruby red. This beer has a generous three-finger creamy off-white head that is robust and leaves thick lacing behind. Pour this beer aggressively and watch it cascade like snow forming the grand head. The beer’s aroma hints of coffee and chocolate. The flavor is smooth and not really what you’d think it would be. This Guinness is smooth and bitter, balanced, and it has roasted notes. This beer is easy to drink. This has a light-bodied feel in the mouth. This beer comes to a smooth finish of light chocolate and some coffee. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and creamy, with light roasted coffee. This is not the world’s best stout. It is, however, a really easy-to-drink ”light” stout. I give this one a B-. The stout flavor is light overall, but they are good. I am sure if you follow my blog, then you’ve probably had a Guinness. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Boddingtons Pub Ale

Posted on by Evan

This beer is imported from Manchester, England, and is Boddings Pub Ale. It is 4.6% ABV. It has a nitrogen capsule or ball inside the pint can. When you pour the beer from the can, it releases the nitrogen giving you a hand pull as you’d get in an actual pub. This beer company is an InBev company. This beer pours at first a cloudy light tan color, but after the snowy nitrogen effect clears (which is pretty cool to watch). Then the beer becomes a deep gold with a thick creamy three-finger white head. This beer looks nearly identical to a hand-pulled pint from a British pub. It is a beautiful-looking beer. The beers aroma has light bitterness, sweet notes, and some malt scents. The flavor is creamy, smooth, and sweet but malty, with mild honey flavors. The mouthfeel is light. This beer goes down easy Then you get a lightly sweet and malty finish. Then you’ll find an aftertaste that is a quick malty flavor, but you have to pay attention. It comes and goes super fast. This Ale is a solid A+. If you aren’t drinking this beer, you are missing out. This beer is delicious, and the nitrogen ball makes this a fantastic beer. I would have this over and over because it’s that good. Please stay safe, always be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers! 

left Hand Brewing Company Push Pop Party Nitro

Posted on by Evan

left Hand Brewing Company Push Pop Party Nitro, 5.4% ABV from Longmont Colorado is brewed with Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, mandarin oranges, limes, lactose, hops, and yeast with nitrogen in the can which gives this beer a draft quality from the can. Left Hand Brewing Company has many beers with nitro, but this is the first I have seen with nitro that isn’t a stout. The Brewery says to pour this beer like a pro I did not pour this delicately. Push Pop Party Nitro pours a deep yellow to orange color with a cascading thick creamy tight white snowy two finger head with sweet fruity citrus aromas of lime and orange. Taste is light, silky, creamy like with nice citrus limes and mandarin oranges that goes down easy with a smooth citrus fruit finish and a silky aftertaste of limey orange cream with a light mouthfeel. left Hand Brewing Company Push Pop Party Nitro is much like a refreshing fruity push pop and gets an A-. Push Pop Party Nitro does have that draft felling to it but the nitro does have a different fruit flavor to the beer if it didn’t have nitrogen. It has a faint Sorbet quality to it that isn’t bad. This is a beer that is worth trying and good on a hot day. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
