I saw that article too (thanks Google News...), I was laughing my ass off!
About a stout - "If I want a stout I'll buy a Guinness thanks!" - The Guinness I bought in our local Green wassit the other week literally tasted of black water with a hint of detergent... The Sadlers Mud City Stout bottle I had at home was a little nicer luckily, even if it did taste more like a porter....
About Cloudwater Citra - "Smelt like armpits" - He must have the worlds best smelling armpits!!!!! Oh wait, isn't that the guy who would rather just have a nice insipid lager? lol
As you all noticed, all but the Aussie were a bunch of old farts who clearly thought beer was that stuff from the 70s that CAMRA was created to fight against, and anything else is poncy piss....
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Guinness Stout, as in the stuff in a bottle without the widget, that says stout on it (I think they call it Extra Stout now?), and USED to like a pint of Extra Cold, but the gods alone know what they do to it in that pub down the road from me, it literally tasted like water. Heck, I really enjoyed a bottle of Guinness Milk Stout for the first time the other night, more than I did a can of some craft brewery milk stout I tried the same night (promised bitterness, only delivered sourness instead, like it was more off milk stout....), so I'm not ALL about the "poncy craft stuff", but that article was clearly written on behalf of AB Inbev or something..... lol Oh, and the Guinness Rye Pale Ale is rather nice too.... *legs it* To make up for such traitorous statements, the Guinness West Indies Porter was terrible! Lidl Purple Panther Porter is way nicer even!!!
Oh and just to utterly destroy any reputation I ever had on here, I really really enjoyed a bottle of Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale the other night too.... :p
