anyone try this yet-curious how they turned out.

[Jimmy K]

All that comes to mind is ... Why?

[Wort-H.O.G.]

Guinness adverse or just not open to anything like this???

for a few bucks i'll try many a beer and decide...FWIW

I've seen this at the store and my feeling was that it is really taking a chance in terms of their branding. The biggest thing that Guiness has going for it is a reputation for doing one thing very well. I doubt I'll try it.

That would be my reason. The beer itself I would try, though I'd never feel the need to buy it. I like Guinness but I think they are diluting the brand. Although I thought black lager was too far...

fair enough-i'm not at all inclined to let marketing or branding or whatever deter me from giving it a taste.

anyway, perhaps I may be the first to report back

I owe someone some Guinness on a bet.  Perhaps I'll get the blonde lager.  It's Guinness after all, isn't it?

I'll generally give their offerings a try, but none of them have stuck with me.  Didn't they do some sort of special anniversary stout awhile back?  Or was that the black lager?

[Wort-H.O.G.]

remember the black lager for sure-not sure on the anniversary one.

I feel the same way regarding porche making a sedan.

I feel the same way regarding porche making a sedan.

You'll never catch me driving down the street in a Porsche sedan drinking a Guiness blond lager.

I thought Guinees already made a Blonde Lager: Harp.

I thought Guinees already made a Blonde Lager: Harp.

Bingo. Was thinking the same thing. I don't drink Harp, either.

[Wort-H.O.G.]

I thought Guinees already made a Blonde Lager: Harp.

actually harp is euro pale lager  , guiness blonde is "american lager" - now whether it is or not is debatable.

anyway, no shame in my game living outside the prison walls.

So Guinness's lager is Harp-lite? Sounds even less appealing now. No judgment - just not my thing.
