Brewer's Description:

Based on a traditional Irish recipe from County Wexford that dates back to 1810, we use only the best ingredients to ensure that our Wexford ale has a smooth mellow creaminess we believe you will enjoy.

Following in an age-old tradition only the freshest, most natural ingredients are used to create the smooth mellow taste of our Wexford ale.

For best results chill for at least 2-3 hours but do not freeze. Pour carefully down the side of a glass, observe the creamy head and enjoy the smooth mellow taste of Wexford.

Appearance:Medium amber in color. Lots of foam immediately when pouring. Very long head retention. No bubbles rise while sitting.
Aroma:Pleasant smell. Nothing in particular sticks out. Not strong smelling.
Taste:Not impressed. Perhaps too much hops for my taste? Somewhat bitter.
Mouth Feel:I can see what they mean by cream. Very smooth, maybe too much so. Not enough carbonation. Seems very flat. Almost like drinking tea that tastes like beer.
Drinkability:Not good at all. I will not miss this beer. Lady at Kegs & Barrels said that it's no longer imported to the US. Good riddance!!!
Score:1 / 10
