Pics or it didnt happen.
But no seriously. This is exactly the point, people making claims. If the first pour is better, surely it can be shown in video...
Very interesting thread (excluding the politics). It would be really interesting to see some side-by-sides (same beer, same tube lengths) from people with different taps of anyone has the time.

@wide eyed and legless you are a legend mate! Gave them a water and look who came out.
I have him a flick and squish but I'm going to assume there are more than one.
Treatment suggestions?
