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.

440 ml can (4% ABV). Amber body with creamy white nitro head. Aroma has malt and caramel. Flavor is sweet malty, some caramel and a hint of roasted bread. Decent but without personality.

another nitro can. pretty boring stuff. i find most of these nitro beers have zero aroma, and the flavour is muted, and bland, but there is a bitterness that comes through. they all seem to taste the same. I wonder if the nitro does something.

goozen (1782) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - JUN 16, 2007
Can 0,5 ltr: Once from Ulster and now from Yorkshire that will change this amber from its taste and is now more easy drinking.

BREWMUSKCLES (1609) - New Jersey, USA - JUN 10, 2007
NICE AND CREAMY WITH A BEAUTIFUL TYPE CARBONATION. UNFORTUNATELY THE MILD TASTE NOTES OF REALLY NOTHING INTERESTING SCREWS WITH THE BEAUTY THERE. METALLIC TINGE OF A TASTE WITH HAY WHEAT AND A TOUCH OF FRUITY KINDA MALTY SOMETHING OR OTHER THAT IS REMINESCENT OF THE SMELL OF A QUALITY DISH DETERGENT. ONLY WEAKER.
