Commercial Description:
The new Irish Cream Ale is a smooth, sweet and creamy brew with a light floral hop nose, malty middle and smooth finish. Poured from a pub faucet with nitrogen and CO2 the ale cascades in the Irish tradition and settles quickly to form the perfect head. Don't miss out on this brand new beer experience available now. Grain: Based Pale Ale 2-row malt. Caramel malt blend used for less than 20% of grain bill. Hops: Willamette, Hallertau. Relatively low bittering hop levels are used with a larger focus on late addition hops for a light yeast flavor. Additives: Non-fermentable lactose. Lactose is used to provide the creamy, sweet qualities and to aid in head retention when poured. O'Malley's Irish Cream Ale is ideally served between 42-50 degrees F through a pub faucet in much the same manner a properly served Guiness is poured.

This beer comes on acidic (almost orange like) and finishes with a slight hoppy flavor. This is the first beer I poured down the sink.

From a 12-ounce brown bottle, pours a yellowish amber with no head.Intense butterscotch aroma, light/medium body, butterscotch flavor dominates the malt. Too bad, looks like a bad batch.

Not sure what it looked like (sampled out of a bottle). Interestingly sweet, lightly caramel aroma. Very creamy mouthfeel. Flavor also sweet caramel with only a very slight hint of hops. Finish is more dry and malty.

Cream? Tastes light, floral, and wheaty. It’s not repulsive, but I think the name "Irish Cream Ale" is misleading.

Bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a clear gold with an enormous frothy white head that takes it’s time diminishing. You need a little patience on this one, which is a tad annoying since this beer is intended to be enjoyed cold. Musty, lightly citric and almost dusty, the nose is a bit off-putting. Light and fairly thin, but with tongue coating carbonation that concludes with a sour and a bit metallic finish. The flavor is an interesting one. The first few sips were quite metallic, but that characteristic fades a bit with time and transforms into an effervescent, sour, pale malt front with a light citric backing. My first impression was that I didn’t care for it at all, but it became a little better with time. A brew very different from anything else that I’ve tried to date (granted this is my first cream ale). I’ve never seen a beer that generates a head so effortlessly, but overall, I’d have to say this isn’t something to go out of your way to acquire.
