Kilkenny

Last weekends featured tipple was Kilkenny Irish Ale. Found on tap at a number of Irish theme pubs, the local draught version is actually brewed in Australia, this time was the turn of the can variety. This version is imported from Ireland and appears to travel quite well.

This is a creamy ale, featuring the draught “widget”, which once poured needs a little time to settle. This is not an ale for fans of the sweet varieties, instead has a rich creamy texture, nutty and malty with a smooth slight bitter finish. Well suited to a sustained tasting session.
