440 mL Nitro can poured into a mug

Appearance: Nice amber color with an off-white really creamy head. The effect created by the nitro can and the pour is really nice for something from a can.

Smell: Slight bitterness that is not too pronounced but there is more of a caramel sweetness to it.

Taste: It has that creamy taste with a little bit of caramel, fruits and a slight bitterness. The creaminess balances out any bitterness this has. Like Guinness this gives the impression of it being heavier then it really is (not that that is bad).

Serving type: nitro-can

Poured from a 44 cl can into a becker.

A: Amber hue. Giant, cascading head. Eventually forms into a 2 finger, foamy, white head which continually settles slowly. Thick foamy lacing.

S: Soapy malt, Fermented, rancid wood.

T: Lightly sweet, lightly hoppy. Sourdough bread, dish soap, and other unpleasantries.

M: Light body. Synthetic finish.

D: Uhm... it's tough.

Atmosphere is pretty decent. Huge head, and plenty of thick lacing. Nose is an unpleasant combination of dish soap and sour wood. Flavor is bready with a slight hop and slight hint of indistinct sweetness. Rubberlike bittersweet finish. Overall, this is not a great quaff.

Serving type: nitro-can

440ml can purchased from Berkeley Bowl West in Berkeley, CA. I'm a sucker for a nitrogenated can, I know it. This one opens with the best of them, a huge sucking intake of noisy expansion, promising creamy glory below.

Looks the business. Smooth, creamy pour starts the beer of a sandy yellow hue, settling out to a rich copper with a very fine, creamy whipped meringue consistency head. Lacing is pointy and fine, sticking around for a long time. Body is light, and the bubbling is fine when tilted. Yeah, I love the look of this kind of beer, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Nose is mild and relatively smooth, with a light but pleasant creamy malt character backed up by a faint suggestion of earthy English hops. It's all very mild, but in a way that suggests intention and purpose. It's quite pleasant.

Taste is similarly mild, but again well-balanced and well thought out. Smoothness runs through the centre and the front of the palate, not so much giving much in the way of flavour, but laying down a weak malt basis. This is follows and punctuated by a dusky but clear hop character which provides a single counterpoint above and towards the back of the palate. Feel is smooth but light, and far from bloating.

This is a mild beer, but it's a pleasant one, with structure and with interest. It's also extremely accessible and very pleasant to drink. Yes, it's not going to wow you with flavour, but for what is presumably a pretty mass-produced English ale, there's a lot to like.

Clear bright copper (SRM 15) after the cascading head settles to one inch creamy beige. Fine carbonation and lace coat the Harp nonic glass while the head maintains itself throughout the session.

Sweet malt with honeydew melon and fresh, crisp, light floral notes. Some honey and toffee may be detected with warmth.

Sweet on entry with astringent bitterness in the middle, lingering well into a long finish. Toasted malt adds to the clearly grain-centric flavors while fruitiness and bready flavors may also be detected.

Silky smooth, perhaps even slick, with a creamy head and fine carbonation. A medium body with some astringency while the alcohol is barely noticeable.

This is a decent gateway beer and, in my opinion, better than the typical mass-produced offerings. It has enough character to be interesting, yet is reserved enough to be enjoyed after a frustrating day of work.

Delicious beer! Found at a local market in California. Perhaps I am just partial towards cream ales.

Poured into a conic glass with at least 3 fingers of head, it was a fantastic creamy beer with a amazing taste.

The beer that I find most similar to wexford is Boddingtons and this beer blew that out of the water.
