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. Copper color and a dense nitro head. Weak aroma with malt and hops. Smooth mouthfeel and a flavor reminiscent of the aroma. Some light citrus notes too. Weak fruity and hoppy finish. Smooth and quaffable. (060323)

Not much going on here, just your basic ale, a bit better than some micros from america, but nothing great

Pours a hazy creamy golden yellow color. Aromas of malts, honey like qualities, and a touch of hops. Flavor is creamy, sweet malt and aftertaste.

Sammy (5881) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 16, 2006
Was foamy, otherwise a bit amber and nothing special to look at. Little in terms of taste, on the bitter rather than malted side, however there is caramel. Creamy mouthfeel, not too carbonated.Could not finish it. A bit of floral hop smell.Light bodied.

On Tap, Poured amber with a creamy head. The looks are the best part. It has some bitterness, but overall a simple, watery beer.
