Formerly Guinness Blonde American Lager
Irish tradition meets American spirit in Guinness Blonde American lager. Complex and flavorful. Light, floral and alive with citrus. This beer is perfectly balanced with a lingering malt and biscuity finish. It’s the coming together of vibrant flavors, of character drawn from both sides of the pond. And it’s come a long way to get here.

This beer is still being brewed. I work at Phillips Seafood in the Baltimore inner harbor and the local Guinness in Baltimore still sends us kegs every week. We had it today!

Thang goodness they don't brew this swill anymore!
Nothing like the Guinness Gold from long ago.
That was not too bad, tasting like a Guinness light.
This beer was just bad.

12oz bottle poured in to a nonic glass.
Look- Clear golden amber color. modest bright white head that recedes quickly to a thin ring of foam, faint lacing. moderate carbonation streams visible.
Smell- Caramel malt, some light orange and floral/grassy hop notes.
Taste- Similar to the aroma with some light generic fruit and spice in the mix, fairly sweet. Pretty well balanced.
Feel- Pretty thin bodied and pretty crisp. Light carbonation on the tongue.
O- A local grocery store had this on sale left over from St. Paddy's Day so I thought I'd give it a shot. Rather mundane overall, not bad but nothing very good either.

Pretty run of the mill mass brewed blonde beer. To the guy a few reviews below who said this tastes like a grapefruit IPA... you might need to get your mental and tastebuds checked. Tiny bit of hop bite but other than that its your average blonde. Would drink it again with gusto but won't purchase.

Poured from 12oz can into a pint glass. Pours a clear, golden color with a decent white head. Smells sweet, floral notes. Mouthfeel is a bit prickly with medium carbonation. Very light lacing as you suck it down, nothing too crazy. But the taste really does it for me. Very refreshing, crisp american-style lager that goes down easy. A superior bud light or budweiser, if you will - definitely pick this any day of the week. Not very hoppy, very faint citrus taste making it an easy go to for any occasion. Good quality, not a superstar or world-class lager, but I would definitely pick this beer up again.
