"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.

From tap at Den Engelske Fredericia as Thomas Caffreys Irish Ale. Pours clear and golden orange with a dense off-white head. Mild caramel and slight toasted aroma. Smooth mouthfeel with almost no carbonation. Flavour starts with a light fruity note. Medium dry and bitter flavour with a dry and vague malt base. Ends with a light fruity hops bitterness. Nice and smooth although nothing special.6-3-5-3-12=2.9

Ich hasse solche Biere ohne Kohlensäure, auch dieses überzeugt mich nicht, wässrig, labrig wirkende Note, etwas bitter, frisch. Wirkt abgestanden. Hopfig-bitterer Nachhall, zudem kommt ganz zum Schluss ein röstmalziger Ton hinzu. Test vom 24.8.2007, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 14,2,5,7,5,2 - 4,55
