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.

Pours a hazy creamy golden yellow color. Aromas of malts, honey like qualities, and a touch of hops. Flavor is creamy, sweet malt and aftertaste.

Was foamy, otherwise a bit amber and nothing special to look at. Little in terms of taste, on the bitter rather than malted side, however there is caramel. Creamy mouthfeel, not too carbonated.Could not finish it. A bit of floral hop smell.Light bodied.

On Tap, Poured amber with a creamy head. The looks are the best part. It has some bitterness, but overall a simple, watery beer.

440ml "widget" can. Poured orange amber, solid, creamy nitro head, white in colour. Very soft malt aroma. Flavour is weak malt, trace of toffee in the finish. Mouthfeel is very light, carbonation is almost flat.

Off-white milky medium-sized head over clear red-brown body. Weak fruity aroma with notes of apples. Taste is mild, very fruity, and quite bitter, some notes of nuts and marzipan. Aftertaste just fades away. Mouthfeel is milky. Not at all bad. I could drink lots and lots of this.

Probably the best Irish kind of beer, that I have ever tried. Creamy, tasty... I love it, when I ordered one on draft at a local bar.
