True, Mark.

In much of PA water is quite hard - it tends to come from groundwater
wells with significant limestone content.  I suspect in Pottsville --
not too far from Allentown or Kulp-er, Plymouth Meeting -- it's the
same phenomenon.

Florida water, by comparison, is comparatively soft.

That difference alone might account for the taste difference Maryanne
cites.  I still think field research is warranted!

As for Guinness, I've had it both in Dublin and Stateside.  It's tasty
in both places even if it's different.
