Another example of a super keg beer being completely neutralized by putting in a nitro-can.

The stuff in the can is virtually unrecognizable in experience to the original, which in this case is a step back. OK – what can you say about these nitro brews? They all pour to give beautiful, perfectly formed pints, they are all super-smooth and they are all really drinkable (like milkshakes), but so what? All the character of the Abbot is lost in this commercialization process. Shame.

There is still a little recognizable bitterness that comes through in the aftertaste, but apart from that it’s just blandness that rules again.
