Anybody remember this? Used to serve it in a pub I worked in about 9 years ago.. Didn't sell at all so they pulled it off the tap. Didn't even bother tasting it myself.

Tried it a few times. Wasnt too bad really. Ive tasted worse.

Aye, wasn't the worst IIRC. Only tried it once or twice, but.

Was is actually a White Stout or just a Guinness branded lager??

I remember it came out when I was in college and there were a few promotions for it at the time so I treid it. As far as I remember it was actually quite nice, I wouldn't mind trying it again now. Is it available in any form now does anyone know?

It was an attempt at a witbier or biere blanche (a bit like Hoegaarden I suppose).
I drank it a few times, quite liked it. Closest thing now is Kronenbourg Blanc.

I'd completely forgotten about this stuff. Never seen it anywhere and never got to taste it...

i tried it once in bruxells, i was too locked at the time to remember the taste. the pub i work in now still has the pos for it

I remember having it once. Verdict = Neither good nor bad. I guess that's probably why it never caught on.

I remember drinking it, was lovely stuff!

I remember ordering a pint of it and was expecting something akin to a pint of milk to appear. Really dissapointed when it wasn't actually white. Tasted terrible I think.

brendansmith · 24-02-2009 1:50am

Yeah was launched nearly 10 years ago now i reckon. Was grand. Beer is beer.

forgot about this stuff, even though at the time i tasted it, i thought it would be burned into my mind forever!!! tasted just like dirty dishwater!!

Agreed James,

it was absolute muck. I got a free pint and gave it back after two sips. The chemical taste was rank.

JesterWX · 18-03-2009 4:11pm

It was their attempt to do a weissbier. Not bad but they killed it by adding a citrus taste to it.

Redpunto · 19-03-2009 6:09pm

Got a free pint of it once and as a lowl student i hastily accepted - drank it even though it was fairly rank.

sioda · 22-03-2009 9:14pm

Bud mixed with Ritz great glasses though

Locamon · 22-03-2009 9:22pm

have to go along with the 'this beer was crap' school of thought tried a couple and never again, had to have the second just in case I was unlucky with the first -every beer deserves a second chance:D
