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.

Better then the can. More aroma and flavor. I don’t find it to often on tap where I go. Had it once someplace and it was really bad I guess if it’s in the wrong place it sits for awhile. Othere then that I’ve always had good luck with this beer on tap

Honey, seltzer water, a dash of cream, a little beer breath. Pretty and fluffy. Good thing I like honey.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2004 I like the Guinness-like settling appearance of this beer. Far better than the Kilkenny in flavour and colour. Very enjoyable!

Sturgess (173) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 1, 2002
Possibly one of my favorite beers...it’s great all around, I can’t figure out anything wrong with it. I find it to be a mix between guiness draught and newcastle.

Dry malt aroma and flavour.Amber appearance with full creamy head.Light fine carbonation which disappears towards the end.

jazz88 (2383) - San Francisco, California, USA - OCT 29, 2002
Can. Amber color with a white nitro fueled creamy head. A caramel and malty nose. Obviously smooth but lacks flavor and complexity. Instead it relies on some nitro trained smooth malts to carry the day.

daboskabouter (1470) - Fergus, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 20, 2002
Dark golden color, big nitro head. Body is disgustingly sweet, notes of caramel and piney hops. Smacks of macro and the nitrogen doesn’t do it any favors.
