Harp Lager has been brewed by the Guinness Brewery since 1960, it is named after the distinctive harp logo of the Guinness Brewery. The Guinness Brewery merged with Grand Metropolitan in 1997 to become the Diageo Group, which is currently the largest producer of spirits worldwide, and a leader in beer and wine. Harp Lager is a pale lager which began production as a response to the UK trend towards "Continental Lagers" and has become a major player in the lager market.
It is a pale golden colour, typical of the pale lager style, with a big foamy white head with a little bit of retention and creates nice lacing on the side of the glass.
It smells quite a bit of citrus, with a slight undertone of the floral notes of the hops. There's a definite maltiness and a slight bit of a bitterness of the hops apparant in the nose as well.
It starts off with the maltiness and a touch of the floral note of the hops, with the maltiness staying but the hop character changing to the citrus notes and becomming bitter shortly after and fading away with the maltiness to end clean.
It's a nice light drinking lager, with enough flavour to keep it drinkable and not lost in the masses of other lagers out there. Definitely a huge seller for a reason.
