Couldn’t care less for the taste of it (or any alcohol for that matter), but I challenge you to find me an aesthetically more pleasing beverage than a pint of Guinness. Always looks deadly and, when done well like above, picture perfect
Head slightly too big
Looks like a lovely pint.
Few bubbles on top. Make sure to use a clean, dry glass to help with that. All in all, a good looking pint.
I’ll need to taste it for true judgement, where are you?
Reduce the head by half and it’ll be bang on.
Solid pint. Anybody who has anything bad to say about this is just being picky

Thumbs up from me, looks like the sort of pint that’d be down in two goes.. Extra marks for beer mat 
Head could be slightly thinner and there’s the odd bubble here and there, but overall a good pint. I’d happily drink it. 8.5/10
Where’s the flake, is the bishop in town!! Some of the banter you probably will receive. Heads way too big.
Missing the shamrock poured onto the head, otherwise perfect.
Dirt – Beamish is king
Good presentation and a clean poor, the head is a little big, that could be due to a multi-chiller being a few degrees high or heat at some stage warming your lines
I worked in a pub where the beer lines crossed the radiator pipes and it acted up when the beer flow was slow
Class.
Kilkenny Cooling systems are still decades ahead of what we use in the states for draught dispense tech. Blows my mind with the size of the craft beer industry. I can get a different candy-flavored sour beer released every week at one of 30 breweries in a city of 200k, but there’s only maybe 3 Kilkenny systems in the whole country. Sorry, yank rant.
Good pint. I’ll second about 20% less head.
This is a strong start
I used to work in a bar and it looks great. Just some advice though, it’s slightly over poured and likely to spill if it has to be brought to a table so just watch that but other than that *chef’s kiss*
I’d rate that perfect for me, with the slightly larger head coz my hands seem to cause them to dissipate. Cant tell from the photo but temp doesn’t look too cold and my dental fillings will thank you for this.
Looks enticing, well done my friend!
It’s a guinness bra 😅
I wouldn’t complain. I’m in the states and I got a pour recently that would give an Irishman an aneurysm. Apparently I gave it enough of a side eye that the server went and brought me a second one on the house. Felt a bit guilty but it was really a bad pour.
8/10 head slightly too big, not too shabby
You have to wonder why they ever stopped using this glass. The new glass doesn’t hold a candle to the aesthetics of this and I don’t believe for a second it improves the longevity of the head or any other nonsense marketing shite.
I rate it makes-me-thirsty/10
Not Beamish/10
The head should be half way between the harp and top of the glass. I would send this back.
Guinness looks fairly solid, bit too much of a head and a few bubbles on the top. A great looking pint =/= a great pint though. I’ve often had a pint of stout that looks like a cracker but ends up tasting just middling.
The collar is too large, worked in the industry for years. Reduce that slightly and would be perfect.
Stick up an after photo and we can properly judge – looks good though
Head is on the 5% side of too big, but looks creamy so you can allow for the 5%.
What really worries me is it looks like there are bubbles on the top of the pint. Massive no no. Most people judge the pint from the side view (marketing), but the real judge is, has the top of the pint been left smooth?
A careless bar leaves bubbles. Learn how to scoop the top on initial pour (a good technique if you full pour on initial) or remove bubbles with the nozzle of tap.
Side-note: if a bubble forms from topping up the pint when giving to customer, you can always reply with “the bubble is free”
Second side-note: I full pour my Guinness and then top up. It produces for me the perfect pint in the bar I work. But if it’s a busy night and the tap is running constantly then I reduce my initial pour to the harp.
head too big by 14%
Lose 2mm off the head and it would be 100%
At best a 5/10
Nothing wrong with that pint lad, keep up the good work!
