Commercial Description:
Pasteurised nitro-keg and nitro-can beer.
"A smooth, creamy ale." Introduced in 1994 as a 4.8% Irish Ale by Bass at Caffrey's Ulster brewery, and promoted strongly with an advertising campaign of "strong words softly spoken". Interbrew took over in 2000, soften the recipe and attempted to catch the lager market, using a new promotion of "a storm brewing". Coors acquired the brand in 2002. Initially contract brewed by Interbrew for Coors at Ulster, the brand eventually moved to Coor's Tower Brewery in Tadcaster.

(tap) The most waterish ale I´ve ever had; times two. And I even had the whole pint.

Can, 44 cl. Clear dark amber, small creamy and firm off-white head. Fruity but weak malt aroma, some roasted notes. A bit thin and watery. Ok balance.

Draugth at Sir Winston in Oslo. Amber color, creamy off-white head. Sweet; green apple, banana, flowers - but where is the bitterness?

440 mL nitro can. Amber with thick, creamy head. Aroma is very malty. Seems undercarbonated, even for a bitter. Taste is thin, malty, with a bit of bitterness in the finish. Much better on tap.

Pours clear amber colour with creamy, thick head. Mouthfeel is creamy, non-carbonated, a bit too thin. Aroma is sweetish and soft with fruity malts and hops.

440 ml can. Typical nitro-can pour, golden with a thick creamy off-white head; aroma of cherry cola; sweet malt taste; with a dry slightly bitter follow through. An alcopop that looks like a beer - not a good combination!

Sweet and malty with lots of roasted malt character. Notes of caramel and fruits. Pretty bland. Lacking in character.
