    It could possibly date back to the 1970's

    The type face / font and the harp changed over time - I can't quite make it out from the photo but if you compare it with the examples here you should have a good idea

    It's a half-pint bottle but the capacity is stated in metric (284 ml) so I'd say the 1980s or later.

    Would be so sure with Guinness. From some time in the 70's they started to gear up for the change over to metric so......

    You could always send the photo to guiness and ask them.??
