Wexford Irish Style Creme Ale

Let's start by saying it pays to read the can carefully before buying. This ale is not from Ireland -- it's from our good friends at Greene King Brewing Company in Suffolk, England. The can is similar to the Guiness draught can, so when you pop the top it can create something approximating a real draft pour. And it does look beautiful as the bubbles cascade down the ale in the glass. The ale is a deep crimson color and the can produces a great head of creamy foam. The can says to serve this well-chilled, but it lacks much of a nose when cold. It drinks well once the liquid chill is gone and is almost devoid of any bitterness. This is a simple ale that lives up to the promise of "smooth mellow creaminess we believe you will enjoy." Well not everyone, but it is a simple ale for drinking during your next Magners League match.
