It does genuinely taste different outside Ireland.

Yes it does. And yes I have...in Dublin.
You can get a decent pint here in Manc in just about any Irish bar.
I just realised you're Irish...and you don't like Guinness?

It depends wildly on where in Ireland you're from.Up North(Ulster,Sligo) it's Smithwicks>Guinness.

Full Sail IPA: Weak- it's basically an IPA without hops or bitterness.

Mendocino Brewing White Hawk IPA: This is more like it- not the best IPA I've had, but has some depth and flavor. Kick's your ass if you try to chug.

Sapporo Reserve: Been snatching up tall cans of this- such a good beer when just kicking back.

Really? I thought Guinness was sacrosanct in Ireland.
Nowt wrong with Smithwicks.

Still the finest beer for those with a very modest budget (myself):

As for Guinness, i love the stuff but I generally use it as a stomach liner if I haven't managed to get any food down me if it's session on. I have never tried smithwick's I have to say but where I originally come from it's all Banks's ales- not the best I have to admit whereas where I live now it's all fairly generic apart from a few speciality ales.

That looks tasty. I like the alcohol per volume percentage as well.

Horrid stuff. It's like treacle. You have to wait ten minutes for it to make it's way out of the can!
