Luckily, I only purchased a single bottle of this stuff.

Smell: Cheap. Miller Lite-ish. I cannot find any terms for the smell. Sorry.

Poured black, with lots of Coca Cola style foam. This has literally no character at all. Doesn't have the fresh feel of Guinness draft. Not sure why they did this to me.

Mouthfeel...almost like Coca Cola. Seriously.

Drinkability...yeah, I guess that is the intentions of this beer. I could see a bunch of College kids thinking they are cool drinking "Guinness".

Personally, I believe that Guinness needs to be very careful when releasing beers. I love normal Guinness, and I always thought they could build their beers off of that. It seems they started from scratch. Maybe this is the Miller Lite of Guinness. But if that is the case, they should charge $15 a case.

Poured a deep brown hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.

The smell featured light roasted malts and a soft sweetness.

The flavor was likewise round and moderately roasty with a grassy hop at the finish.

The mouthfeel was typical of the style.

Overall a tasty easy drinking beer.
