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.

Sweet honey/clover like nose. Dense foamy nitrogen head, blah. Light amber colour. This is relatively boring. Reminds one of an English Mild or Bitter. Light apples, hay, poo...Thin body, its like friggin water here damn it. Luckily I wont ever have to drink this again.

A good Irish cream ale. Served on nitro gives a the signature cascading beer glass. Some caramel on the nose but it's hard to pick up because of the N2. Medium to light body and english hops abounding.

Dark, creamy. Not all that bitter, which makes it good, becuase as much as I love bitterness- I don't like it with these types.

Amber colour and a nice creamy, persistent head (actually it depends a lot on who serves the beer...). This beer has a good malty taste and a light caramel aftertaste. Refreshing and pleasant to drink!

Amber w/ creamy nitrogenated head. Slight malt aroma, no hops. Somewhat creamy but watery feel. Very bland. Some fruitiness & maltiness. Very mild bitterness.

440ml can. Deep red in colour with a lasting thick white creamy head. The liquid its self is totally still lacks any carbonation. Has a watery taste that is slightly rusty and is totally over rated. Looks good but is totally lacking in taste. Widget cans are S**T!
