Woman's picture of ludicrously bad pint of Guinness goes viral

A woman flew out of Ireland on a bitter note when she was served an astonishingly bad pint of Guinness.

Twitter user Kelly J ordered a pint of the famous Irish stout at the end of a stay in Dublin.

While she had been hoping to bid goodbye to the Emerald Isle via a rich and creamy pint, the MK Dons fan was sorely disappointed, Dublin Live reported.

What Dublin Airport staff brought to her table was made up of a huge section of foam, taking up about a quarter of the glass.

Kelly uploaded a photo of the pint along with the simple caption: "Err Dublin Airport, sort it out."

The post prompted a great outpouring of fury from Twitter's Guinness evicianados.

"Was it out of a can? You gave it back I hope," Anthony wrote.

Kelly J replied: "I was embarrassed to even be sat next to it for that very short amount of time be (sic) it was handed back."

Daniel McConnell, political editor of the Irish Examiner and National News Analyst of the Year, wrote: "Oh jesus that is horrific."

Kelly continued: "I was offended they even gave it to me.

"The woman behind the bar who I gave it back to was horrified. I felt embarrassed for her."

Pouring the perfect pint of Guinness can be achieved through four simple steps.

1. Hold the glass at a 45 degree angle.

2. Fill it three quarters full.

3. Let the Guinness rest for roughly two minutes.

4. Fill the remainder of the glass.
