Kilkenny (St. Francis Abbey)

This Irish cream ale is a delight. I'm learning a bit in this blogging adventure. Apparently, Kilkenny is a variant of Smithwick's Irish Red Ale. It is also owned by Guinness. Yet it seems impossible to find a website for it.

General Thoughts

Look and Smell: I was excited when it came to the table. It was still settling. The waves of thick creaminess rippling through it. The head was wonderful and hung on to the very end. This brew was more of a brown-gold to me. Not as copper-colored as some.

Taste: It was so creamy. When I took my first sip it was mellow and then I got a spike of bitter. Did I mention it was creamy? Good competition for a Wexford. I'd have to taste them together to pick.
