Our tasters thought Guinness has done an excellent job of replicating Guinness Draught with its Guinness 0.0, though on a blind tasting both tasters found that they slightly preferred the Guinness Draught. As the name suggests, Guinness 0.0 is an alcohol-free version of the famous Guinness Draught stout with an ABV of 0.0%. Choose well, buy better and save money using our expert tips Get our Weekly Scoop newsletter - it's free The tasters rated both Guinness types highly in appearance, with the characteristic dark and ruby body and creamy white head appealing to tasters in equal measure.For example, wine that says "12% ABV" or "alcohol volume 12%" means 12% of the volume of that drink is pure alcohol. Brewers have different methods for removing the alcohol from their beers, with varying effects on the flavour. Guinness says its 0.0 is brewed exactly the same way as usual, but with an extra stage of cold filtration that removes alcohol without stressing the liquid. Update 11/11/2020: Guinness has announced a recall of Guinness 0.0, due to a contamination which it says may make some cans unsafe to drink. So if you're determined to convince yourself that Guinness is good for you you'll have a far more convincing case drinking 0.0. After tasting each pair of drinks, both tasters were asked to choose whether they thought each drink was Guinness 0.0 or Guinness Draught.

For our blind tasting two testers, one a regular Guinness drinker and the other a Guinness novice, poured glasses of each drink for each other without revealing which was the Guinness 0.0 and which was the Guinness Draught. You can work out how many units there are in any drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by its ABV (measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000. With so many different drinks and glass sizes, from shots to pints – not to mention bottles – it's easy to get confused about how many units are in your drink.The aroma of the Guinness 0.0 was judged to be stronger than that of the Guinness Draught, our tasters found. Sweet and malty scents of coffee and dark chocolate were pleasantly identified in the 0.0, whereas the Draught, although similar, had a milder aroma overall. Guinness says its new non-alcoholic beer has 'the same beautifully smooth taste, perfectly balanced flavour and unique dark colour of Guinness Draught, just without the alcohol.' For example, a pint of strong lager contains 3 units of alcohol, whereas the same volume of lower-strength lager has just over 2 units.

ABV is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol as a percentage of the total volume of liquid in a drink. Appearance- did the drink look appealing? Was there clear separation between the dark body and the creamy white head? Did it look flat or lively? Both drinks were enjoyed immensely, but for our two tasters the Guinness Draught came out on top. Could we tell the Guinness 0.0 from the Guinness Draught?We're supposed to be keeping an eye on how much we drink, but how many of us really know what a unit of alcohol is?
