The Guinness Index

How the score
is calculated.

Every score comes from someone who sat at that bar and drank that pint. No stars, no algorithms — just honest reviews from people who care about a good glass. We ask three things.

01
Presentation
Head, dome, lacing — does it look like it was pulled with care?
02
Texture
Creamy or watery? A good Guinness coats the glass.
03
Taste
Roast, balance, bitter finish — the full experience.

Each dimension is rated 1–10. The Index score is the average, shown as a 0–5 pint rating.
