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 44cl, bought supermarket magaluf spain 14.08.08, best bf 14.05.07 tasted 16.08.08 flavor is still smooth tasting english style bitter. some benzene to the flavor, but otherwise close to the other of its style. not much bitterness, aftertaste just a toned down version of general taste. it tastes almost entirely as the draft i tasted earlier in the week, so nice work, making a beer that can age so far beyond production without problems. tap at the red lion , rhodos. dark orange, thick smooth white head 4. aroma of some kind of spices, benzene, faint booze, ginger, nelliker. 6 flavor is ginger, sweet dry, ends ginger bitter. 5, pal 3 ov 11

Can, 4.0%. Clear golden colour. Creamy head. Low carbonation. The flavour is quite thin. Slightly rough bitterness. A bit of grain. Seems they have tried their best to make an ale taste like a lager.

Nitro-can. Orange/brown color with a creamy lasting off-white head. Light aroma of fruit, caramel and floral notes. Taste of sweet and lightly toasted malt, caramel, flowers, grain, light citrus. Mild hop bitterness in the finish. Creamy and smooth, way too watery.
