I’ve been drinking Guinness for years, and this version is a letdown. Compared to the Irish-brewed Guinness, this tastes watered down with a much thinner body and far less of the signature creamy head. It lacks the depth and smoothness that made the original so enjoyable. For the price, I expected the classic Guinness experience — unfortunately, this falls well short.

I don't know what the powers that be were thinking, get one of the world's most iconic beer brands and brew it on the other side of the planet. Guinness smooth, creamy , frothy stout heaven, not anymore. Brewed in Australia its flat within 20 seconds of pouring, no creaminess, no foam, if I wanted a flat stout I'd get a coopers and leave the lid off overnight. Funny thing is us aussies get some cheap imitation muck labled as Guinness yet still pay the imported price tag. Go figure.
