McCaffery's Irish Cream Ale
12 oz. bottle, "1136" julian date, possibly May 2011? Served in a tapered pub glass. Marketing blurb for Ballydoyle pubs on the back side of the label. Took an aggressive pour to generate much foam, and the head faded after a couple minutes. Floating island of bubbles, thin crown of lace around the edges. Saturated orange color with a dull haze about it. Yeasty aroma, husky grains, bread dough. Flavors are also doughy, some toastiness lasting in the dry aftertaste. Some nuance seems to emerge as it warms... a dry grassy herb note in the aftertaste, some floral aspects that mesh with the central bread dough and toasted grain flavor. Body is sort of light to medium, though it has a lower level of carbonation. Seems like something that might work well on nitro or cask. An easy drinking session beer, though there's not much substance to hold sustained interest.
