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.

Can. Sweet, easy-drinking beer which feels very thin. Positive thing? The low ABV, and I also read in my notes it’s ok with some average food.

Can. Weak malt and hops aroma. Golden amber with elegant soft and slowly rising white creamy head. Rather mild flavour with slight bitterness but nothing characteristic. Soft mouthfeel. Especially the head is something extraordinary.

440 ml can. 4.0%. Finland. Nice amber colour with long lasting white head. Unfortunately the aroma and the flavour are not as impressive as the appearance. Some slight bitterness in aroma. Some maltiness and bitter hoppiness in flavour. Low carbonation.
