Caffreys

Brewed by Tadcaster (MolsonCoors)
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

can from party in Canada - can we say that "ain’t what it used to be" should be appropriate. Had this beer while living in the UK back in ’96 and was introduced at the Old Banker in Epson while I had a beer drinking contest putting back 6 pints a piece against Andy the Pharamcist. Those were the good ole days!!!!! This beer has definatly lost much of the flavor it used to have and much more tinny- its a shame - then again still enjoyable with that Nitro head! I would have given the old beer a 4.......

Can. Red/brown colour with a small creamy head. Aroma and flavour of malt, fruit and hops with a bitter finish.

Caffreys Red Irish Draught Ale. Can. Red-brown colour with a short lasting average head. Sweet malty and hoppy aroma with a little metal. Flavour is smooth with some sweetness, toasted malts, hoppy bitterness and some fruitiness.

A pseudo-Irish nitrogenated bitter now brewed in England but it could come from anywhere in Macroland, as frequent changes of brewer have demonstrated. As authentically Irish as Sean Connery’s accent in ’The Untouchables’. Looks as plastic-perfect as any nitro can - bronze with a fat mat of artificial cream. Typical indeterminate nitro aroma - bit nutty, bit fruity, bit metallic but doesn’t add up to much of anything. The creamy nitro mouthfeel masks the skinny body and the absence of any real flavour. There’s some hazelnut, highly diluted lemon squash and a few coppers. Minimal bitterness. No rough edges, making it very sessionable. Arguably one of the better UK/Irish nitro-brews but competition is weak. (440ml nitro can from Amatos. Best before 31/12/06)

Pretty much your typical nitro-can beer. Smooth, not much bitterness, aroma capped by the tight head, and pretty tasteless. "Boring, and watery", my wife’s comments say it all.

Had this one last night at Hoopman in Amsterdam after the I Am Kloot concert. Nice beer, not very special, just nice.

Had this in a irish pub while watching Man Utd defeat Fulham 4-2 in amsterdam with hans and gert, also had in cpt in can from Macro (the store). The game was the only exciting thing. thin crappy beer, unfit to be served anywhere in Holland. garbage irish ale that was like smelly brown foamy water.

It has a strong copper-like smell to it, which is sickly at first, but you do get used to it after a while. Creamy taste which also leaves a sickly feeling when finished, not great beer, but good.
