I have had this on tap a few times,a nice creamy look to it with nice creamy head.Kind of a dark gold almost amber color.Smell was nice and appetizingly sweet,the taste was a little bland for the look and smell of this one.A little smack of hop will hit the farther down the glass u go.A pretty good Irish ale but nothin to spectacular.

When this was marketed in the USA it was a refreshing, delightful ale! One that I enjoyed greatly, since it is now gone in the USA and has been for years, I have not had the pleasure to drink it. Creamy and rich with a great taste, perfect foamy head and beautiful color. I would love to have it again someday!

Pours a finger of head on a hazy darker straw body.
The aroma is a nice grain and milk smell.
The taste is simple and unoffensive, mild dark fruits and mild bitterness.
The texture is smooth and soft.
An easy drinking ale.
