While I’m at it, what’s the difference between Guinness Draft and Guinness Original?
Guiness original comes in a bottle. And is a very different beer to what they market as Guiness draught. Taste it and you'll know what I mean.
I'd imaging as a lager/cider drinker, draught would probably be more to your taste but as Oggy says give them both a go see what you like.
As for 'Extra Cold', it's the same as draught, it's just gone through the cooler twice. No difference in the taste itself but is possibly nicer on a hot day.

Another thing ..... keg (and majority of bottled beers, but not "bottle conditioned") are fizzed up with carbon dioxide. But not Draught Guinness, which is injected with nitrogen to give the 'creamy' or smooth head.
As Guinness is now officially vegan (did I mention I was vegan?) I’d quite happily raise one in honour of my Irish cousins but I’m cosy in my jammies in front of the fire so they’ll have to make do with a Yorkshire tea salute.

Medusa was a Gorgon in Greek mythology, who had venomous snakes on her head instead of hair.
Legend has it that Saint Paddy banished all the snakes from Ireland.
Ergo not the best possible date for Medusa, who is now as bald as a coot.

Happy plastic paddy day!
Taste it and you'll know what I mean.
That’s my point. Is it grandparents, great grandparents, great great etc etc.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all! Don’t be putting a dampener on our day, with the rugby now!!
