Guinness Draught


This is a beer, that needs no introduction. Everyone knows, that Guinness is black and from Ireland (from its capital Dublin, to be exact). It is also one of those few stout beers, that I like. Guinness is known for its long lasting head, that keeps the aroma in the glass as long as it gets empty. In pubs it is poured slowly, so that the creamy head is perfect. It is actually quite easy drinking beer for a stout, and that's maybe the reason, it is so popular throughout the world.

This ”Draught” was introduced as a canned version of Guinness imitating the Guinness served in pubs. It uses a capsule that is activated when the can is opened, and nitrogen causes the beer to start making a creamy kind of head for the beer. It is artificial, though, and this can never be compared to actual Guinness served in a pub. Still I like it very very much and it is a ”dream” of mine to one day visit Dublin and Ireland, and have a load of Guinness pints in their local pubs. I also love Irish Folk music (or at least love Clannad :D), so it has always been my plan to some day go there.

**** Great (pint in a pub would be *****, but this canned version is merely a mimic of that)
