Compare the taste of Guinness to an American beer, such as MillerLite?
Okay, so I'm a college student. I drink MillerLite - it's cheap, it's beer. However, I'm starting to enhance my alcohol selection and trying to branch out. Can you compare the taste of the two?
Answers:
You're looking at two different beers from two different societies. Guinness is a full flavour ale. While miller lite is just that lite. If you want to expand your horizons on beers, and ales, try German Biers. They are as different as the towns that they are brewed in. Each micro brewery by law has to have a Braumeister, and he must be certified by the government. The Rienheitsgebot (water purity law of 1715) allows for only three ingredients. Water, hops, and yeast. It's been relaxed a little by allowing some grains. The best Pils I've ever tasted was from the Ettal Monastary in Garmish. Ettal Pils. They don't even export anywhere in Germany. The only place to get it is at the Monastary. Andech's is another good one. There are many micro-breweries in the states that make some very good ales and beers. Just don't limit yourself to one.
That would be like comparing a tuxedo and dirty skivies.
uhhhh... what? Why don't you buy me a guinness and I'll drink it for you and tell you how good it is
try Golden Monkey. Good stuff, might have to look for it a little bit. Guiness is good for car bombs, thats about it. It is too filling for me. I love miller lite, yeungling is another favorite, and labat blue.
Miller Lite is a Pilsner. (Actually a Light Pilsner.)
I may be wrong, but Ginness is a stout or larger.
You are comparing apples to oranges or a white wine to a red port wine.
Try Sam Adams to Ginness.
If you can stand to drink a watered down beer like Miller Lite, you probably won't like a very flavorful beer and might not like Guinness. They are like exact opposites, it's almost water vs. milkshake. Guinness is very heavy and filling, with a strong very creamy & roasted taste. Also, beers like Guinness hit your belly like a bowling ball. Overindulgence produces a hangover like none you've ever had before. Guinness is best on tap, I've never been impressed with it out of the bottle, so try it at a bar first.
You can not compare the two styles with any ease. Guinness is an Irish Dry Stout, and Miller Light is an American Light Lager. I personally hate American Light Lagers. I could go on for days about the flavors of fine craft beer, or you could check out the link I have provided. You will find unlimited information about beer in general.
If you switch to Guiness (Fuller flavor, not so sweet as light beer) be prepared for lots of calories 140 per bottle I believe It has a lot of Iron in it and can be used as a tonic. Try a couple with friends tonight Its pretty good.
i love the taste of beer, when i drink a beer i want to taste it
i never drink american beer, such as miller lite, etc
i tend to drink canadian brews, mainly alexander keiths and moosehead lager (tho im pretty sure u wotn find those)
when i drank guinness, i loved it, taste body, beautiful, but if i were you i would just grab a few bottles/cans and giver a try
If your drinking Miller lite you probably won't like Guinness. Its a stout which is a heavy dark beer. Try Bass Ale its an import that isn't as heavy. Its pretty good and if someone has some Guinness you can make black and tans with the two.
Ha ha ha ha ha....
You'll have to try it, you can't compare them because they are miles apart. It isn't lager, it's stout. It is black, flat - not fizzy - and bitter tasting. But strangely very nice (and for some reason it does taste better in Ireland)
