Default Guinness 250 - Anyone Try?

I don't know what I was expecting, but it pretty much tastes like Guinness to me. Head looks darker and fluffy, though. Had a bit of malt taste before hitting the standard dry Guinness aftertaste.

Anyone else's thoughts?

It wasn't that bad. In fact I liked it better than normal Guiness because it wasn't on a nitro tap. It's C02 fed!!!!! That really pumps me up. I can never quite taste what's going on in a nitro beer.

I'm not a huge Guiness fan but I thought that I should try it.

I thought it was great. Nice malty and sour taste with a slightly acidic finish to leave a dry and refreshing aftertaste. Good job Guinness!

I liked it... more roasty, more hoppy (relatively) and no gas...

I had it a a beerfest this weekend. It was OK. a lot lighter than regular guinness and no nitro. I don't think I'd pay for it.
