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.

On tap: Light copper. Yeasty/malty notes with some incidence of basement or wet dog as it warms. Very easy drinking, low carbonation and alcohol. Not overly bitter, not overly sweet. A touch minerally. Refreshing, tasty and smooth.

Can
Nice amber color, hazy; very nice creamy head. The aroma is a bit malty. The flavor is very smooth, but too simple, with some malt and residual sweetness. The palate is quite simple as well.

Pale amber coloured. Has a lasting creamy white head. I think this beer feels rather tasteless, I must say! But it leaves some flowery taste.

Smooth and creamy. I always get this one mixed up with Kilkenny because they are very simlar both in appearance and texture. Very drinkable, but not amazing.

Pint at The Stageing Post ,Aberdeen ,Scotland. Very attractive amber,slighly hazed with a absolutlly gorgeous creamy white head. Pretty lackluster in the aroma departmant, but not unpleasant. Very pleasant malty taste with a touch of hops to tingle the tongue. Exceptionally smooth on the palate..very easy going stuff. Quite drinkable but could become boring after a while.

Quality ale that could be considered a lager. Creamy head and an almost sweet taste. Not a bad beer out of the can, poured into a pint glass!!! Cheers

I think I can not understand how you rate Ales, but it has a little bit of more character in it, it seemed to me that it was almost a lager. Blond and smooth.
