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.

On tap in Glasgow 2004- much like Boddington’s- really creamy and smooth, but not much there there.

ALLOVATE (1534) - Butler, WA, AUSTRALIA - NOV 11, 2004
Tasted from the can. Pours a brilliant amber with a tight creamy two layered head. Aroma was just evident as floral and clean. Taste was like a watered down Bitter. Hint of floral hops with a slight bitter swallow. Low malt tones and short quickly forgotten aftertaste. A beer that is good to look at, but no much else!

Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 9, 2004
Canned - 440ml. Amber/dark gold body topped with a dense white creamy head. Average malty aroma with light herbal hints. Fair hoppy and bitter taste with a long finish, which is characterized by a subtle smokey note. Average beer.

pivo (2540) - GERMANY - OCT 16, 2004
Farty nose is a quick turnoff. Pale amber color and creamy head (at least it looks good). Orangy malt with little taste. Low bitte. Weak and thin. A swilling beer, really.

Mullo (102) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - OCT 4, 2004
Nitro can. A moderate ale, with no great depth, but easy drinking. Hint of roasted coffee. Very creamy.

YogiBeera (2436) - Hamburg, GERMANY - SEP 26, 2004
On tap at bar in Gibraltar 2004: Dark orange color, with a small frothy head, sorft carbonation. Apple cider nose, but weak. Hoppy but also light taste, kind of creamy but all in all boring.

Muggus (193) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - SEP 22, 2004
Nitro can. Pours with an amber body with a trademark creamy nitro head. Light nutty caramel aroma. Smooth body, buttery sort of malt flavour. Has hints of sweet caramel with a slight bitter touch. Pretty basic flavour, but very enjoyable. I must try this off tap.

frink (467) - coquitlam, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 7, 2004
Nitro can- Pours with a nirto cascade into a brown amber colour with a thin creamy head. Mild aromas of caramel and some hops. The flavour was the best thing about and it was only so so, malt, caramel, mild hoppiness and some sweetness. O.K. but less than good.
