Pours a dark ruby color and is covered with a nice and slightly cream colored head that stays around for a while. Pleasant malty aroma, aroasted, and some nice caramel too. The creamy beer has a nice bittery taste, some caramel here too and some coffee as well. Bitter aftertaste. I used to not care about red beers, but now I have to say I really enjoy Kilkenny. Very drinkable.

Sweetish beer, with a sticky mouhfeel and some mild hop bitterness. Bit too thin.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear chestnut brown, thin white head. Aromas of toffee and malt.Taste has toffee and not much else. Perhaps a light herbal hop linger. Finishes clean enough. Forgettable.

33cl bottle. Appearance - dark amber with a decent creamy head. Nose - dark malt and toffee. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a relatively fresh finish. Overall - it’s typical of many of the mass distributed beers. Neither does it offend nor does it excite. Better than some though.

Bottle. A- Water, caramel malts, dough. A- Amber red color,cloudy liquid, frothy head. T- Slight bitterness, malty, watery. P- Medium body, thin creamy texture, flat carbonation, abrupt finish. O- A lot more watery tasting than I was hoping for. Not a bad Cream Ale but not all that pleasing either.

Mørk brunrød med noe beige skum. Malt og krydder aroma. Kjedelig vassen og tam i smak. Lite kullsyre. Denne blir noe helt annet på fat ...
