Is this Guinness Surger thing a con?

does it make a difference to the taste as to whether it has a head or not?

Erm... Smoothness!

IMO the Guinness you get using the surger unit tastes better than at the local.

Keep drinking it and you will develop a taste. Or alternativley wait till you reach your 30's an you automatically develop a taste for real ale and Guinness (or stout!)

This is true, I have now started to drink and ENJOY beer!

As a comited cider drinker this came as something of a surprise, however real ale/ stout would not be my choice for a heavy nights drinking, it seems to do funny things to my tummy

That's perfectly normal... It's your digestive tract adjusting to the real beer it's getting

*going to Tesco after work... tempted for the gimickry*

I despise all lager. It just tastes like plastic; horrible, especially Stella Artois.

Ales all the way, and Guinness of course.

I'll stick to a pint of Murphy ta.

Got told yesterday that I was the first girl that someone had encountered that drinks bitter/ales. He obviously hasn't before encountered the right type of girl, lol

It all started a couple of years ago when I was drinking Corona, and then someone gave me a taste of their Newcastle Brown Ale - never looked back since!

Is it wrong that ive already developed this taste and im only 17 :confused:

Ive tasted the guinness from the surger and it does seem to taste nice and crisp and fresh much better than the normal cans that can taste a bit wrong at times
