"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 with nitro. Pours deep golden with everlasting head. Very slight fruity-biscuits aroma and some biscuity taste with quite watery mouthfeel. Extremely light bodied and softly carbonated and hence easily drinkable. Mediocre.

another nitro can. pretty boring stuff. i find most of these nitro beers have zero aroma, and the flavour is muted, and bland, but there is a bitterness that comes through. they all seem to taste the same. I wonder if the nitro does something.

Can 0,5 ltr: Once from Ulster and now from Yorkshire that will change this amber from its taste and is now more easy drinking.

Used to see this everywhere back in the olden days (nineties), was a go-to when the cask offering was dubious! Cold, creamy and smooth with some fruity malt and a dry, sweetish finish

18/8/2023. Draught at The Harp, Ipswich, a recently reopened/renamed local Irish themed pub/guest house of many previous guises which I've not stepped into before today. Not much beer selection but did find I'd not rated this one before. Pours clear reddish amber with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, caramel, malt, bready, biscuit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Quite smooth, soft carbonation. Not bad.
