What I will say is the head is half way between the proper pint and the cans, I wouldn't say its a creamy a top as a top level pint. But the flavour is great. Honestly, I reckon flavour wise its a 8/10 pint you'd get in a pub, which is worth it's weight in gold at these times.

Looked and tasted exactly the same as any draught pint of Guinness, if I hadn't seen it being done I'd have been none the wiser. Also cans cannot have a 'metallic taste' cans are plastic lined- and aren't beer kegs made out of metal....? Have never had a floating widget can of Guinness go flat in four minutes either. The head from the fixed widget can slabs at Christmas wasn't nearly as good, but I wasn't letting them sit long enough in the glass to care :pac:

If Guinness themselves didn't bother to make such a product available during the last 12 months that tells you all. Sure they could have made an absolute fortune selling official gadgets to make their cans taste more like a pint in the pub. When you type "Guinness surger unit" into google it brings you to Ebay UK, where old, old pieces of equipment in places like Stoke, are being sold by complete numpties who think their worthless piece of equipment is somehow able to be sold for £300GBP all of a sudden. Another fad, people going mad over something just to say they have it, each to their own.

If you can’t taste that, there’s something up. We’re 12 months into this crap, if people want to try surge cans, what’s the harm !

MrMusician18 wrote: » There is a difference yes, but most people wouldn't be able to tell you which was which. Case study of one I know, but a friend of mine is one of those annoying Guinness drinkers. Only drinks it and claims it's better in Grogans/Palace/_insert good Guinness pub here_. So as an experiment we got him a pint of Murphy's served in a Guinness glass. He literally proclaimed it to be a particularly excellent pint of Guinness. The flavour profiles are different but not a million miles different. A blind taste test on pulled, surged and canned pints would be interesting. I would bet most would struggle to identify the better drink. And of course they would, it's the same beer in all three. But yeah, go buy your surger if you want one.
MrMusician18 wrote: » Demonstrably bollocks, I suppose you will be able to point to the evidence so, because whether kegged or canned it comes from the same fermentation vessel and is chemically indistinguishable. Without the cue of sight I would bet you couldn't reliably tell the difference. That's nothing to be surprised about, some people can't tell the difference between pork and lamb in a blind test, wine experts are not be able to distinguish between red and white wine dyed red.
