The flat Guinness was a suprise - it came from a can and had the nitro thingie, but it just didn't have the bubbles you would expect. We expect that a non-flat Guinness might be ranked differently. We all agreed that Wexford Irish Cream Ale was the worst, with everyone who was not me putting it below the line of drinkability. [livejournal.com profile] goteam was shocked at how tasty all of the stouts were, I guess that means her tastes are maturing :-P

HL is the only taster who had any claim at Irishness, but we all drank the not-very-foaming ebon ale and had colcannon anyway.

Maybe she just likes beer that eats like a meal; it being more food-like.

Historically, I've really hated on anything darker than a brown ale, so this was a really amazing result for me.
