My thoughts, it's the most horrible tasting beer I've ever had. What is the nitrogen supposed to do? Is that what makes it taste so bad? Can anybody drink this repulsive shite?

Well I'm sure it was brewed in mid October therefore it's beyond it's shelf life.

Haven't tried it, but I did recently have a nitro IPA from Wisconsin that was pretty good. The nitrous smoothed the flavors out and, if I'm not mistaken, there is a molecular driver behind it as well.

Isn't "regular" Guinness nitrogen infused?

The can is a huge turnoff right off the bat.

Doubt it. Nitrogen is simply a substitute for carbon dioxide in the beer. Nitrogen actually improves some beer styles. Left hand's milk stout is really good, but their nitro milk stout is better. It does sort of smooth out the carbonation bite and give the beer a fuller mouthfeel.

Haven't tried this one yet. I'll pick up 1 by itself, if i see it.

IMHO, Nitro makes beer feel "flat" and easier to drink. I love Nitro stouts. However, I think it would give an IPA the taste and feel of a flat stale coke

I tried a lowball-sized free sample from a promotional tap two or three weeks ago in Gulfport. For some reason, it reminded me of water from a mop bucket--in looks and smell. I seriously doubt that I could have handled an entire glass of it, it just wasn't good imo.
