10°C - chilling beer takes away the taste.
The made "Guinness extra cold" to appeal to the youth..... By killing the flavour.....

Actually.... I have a theory, the warmer the place the colder they like their beer (obvious). However there is a correlation between the warmer the place the crapper the beer also (not always true). Which supports my last post.
Lets see how many people this bugs.... I came up with the theory in mexico and florida both Hot with crap beer. Australia too (referring to VB, Emu etc not the good microbreweries.....)

Refuting or supporting my claim?.... I've never drank ""Super Bock"
The thing is that it depends on what type of beer you like. I like chilled beers, so I think ales and stouts are crap. A chilled Guinness is horrible, for example. That said, a warm Super Bock would taste like...well...warm you-know-what. Between a warm SB and a warm G., I'd probably go for G.

Corona is a bad beer but drinking it on the Caribbean watching the sunset was still extremely enjoyable.....

Originally posted by PalynkaI'm not debating the merits of super bock in particular, more the generalisation of beer quality. Australia for example has some fantastic micro brew beers (Coopers, little creatures) but the common beers like VB and Carlton are really poor beers. See America, particularly the southern states, as well.

Good beer shouldn't be Icy cold as then it tastes mainly like hoppy (as in hops) foam.......
