Guinness Irish Wheat - the return of "Breo"?

    Just saw it in shops, haven't tried it yet. Description sounds remarkably like Breo and other Witbeers. Can't really recall now what Breo tasted like, but since there wasn't a huge craft range back then, and I don't recall it tasting weird or very different to other available beer, I suspect it was a bit blander than something like blue moon or hoegarden.

    I remember it tasting startlingly different to anything available, with weirdly massive amounts of fruit and spice and perfume. Which isn't to say it wasn't blander than Blue Moon or Hoegaarden :o

    Interesting, but I guess it was about 18 years ago since I had it!

    Likewise! Nearly twenty since I first drank it.

    I remember it being like Hoegaarden. Corriander and cloves.

    Yeah me too, but not a good!

    the quote at the time was it was nice, but you couldn't drink it all night

    Just had a Guinness irish wheat. It's not bad actually. Lemony citrus notes, hint of banana. I think it's a little bit more interesting than something like hoegarden.
