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.

0,44 l can, British Store, Budapest.
Poured like a huge foam but cleared in one second. Amber colored beer with a creamy white head. Moderated toasted caramel, minimal malt in the aroma. Clean mouthfeel with a mild fruitiness, minimal caramel. Not bad, not good, average, drinkable.

British Store, Budapest Amikor kitöltjük ezt a sört, először csak egy óriási adag habot látunk, aztán lassan lebegve, dolgozva jelenik meg maga a sör is, ami halvány borostyán színű, a maradék hab pedig teljesen krémes, fehér és kitartó. Illata szinte semmi, talán egy kis gyümölcsös és malátás aroma érződik. Íze is elég visszafogott, enyhén karamellás, gyümölcsös és komlós. Igen vizes, szinte teljesen testetlen és majdnem teljesen buborékmentes. Utóíze kissé édeskés, malátás, gyorsan és nyom nélkül múlik. Könnyen iható, akár hektó számra is, de nagyobb élményt nem fog okozni. Egy munkás ale...

440 ml can from „British Store”, Bp. Clear amber pour with a finger thick, creamy off-white head, which don’t disappears and laces. Slick mouthfeel (almost no sharpness’ sensible) with a rather neutral aroma of some surmiseble caramel, bread, grass and yeast, flavour’s apple liked. The light dry and short finish brings (beside the malty sweetness) some hoppy spicyness along. Flavourless and forgetable brew with a light body, which make it easy drinkable.

50 cl can, Sheffield, UK. Creamy yellow colour then settles(?) to a medium amber. Faint aroma of caramel, medium body, bitter with an underlying sweetness. Some banana and toffee on the finish. Somewhat watery.

Didnt realize this one was a bitter, I was expecting a pale lager or something. anyways pours a really really funky looking head, I actual though the beer was white or a cream colour at first. It was sure different. First few sips were different but in the end it was pretty ok.

Can exploded a little bit when we opened it. Poured really thick at first but then the rest poured alright. Kind of thick, like a cream ale, which was actually pretty good after what the beginning tasted like. Would try again.

can 44cl, 4% Clear golden/red with low but thick (nitro?) golden foam. Low aroma but some sweet caramell and red apples, also some apricot. No taste to talk of, low bitterness. Light palate. Almost nothing at all after, some really low bitterness.
