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.

Good creamy Irish ale not unlike Scottish 80/-s. Reduced in alcohol in the UK these days (about 4.2% now I think). No reduction in the quality of product though.

Looks pretty when poured into a glass. Tastes okay, nothing spectacular though.

Thick creamy head that lasts all the way to the bottom of the glass. As such I find many of these to be so comparable as to be indistinguishable.

Better then the can. More aroma and flavor. I don’t find it to often on tap where I go. Had it once someplace and it was really bad I guess if it’s in the wrong place it sits for awhile. Othere then that I’ve always had good luck with this beer on tap

Honey, seltzer water, a dash of cream, a little beer breath. Pretty and fluffy. Good thing I like honey.
