Kilkenny is an Irish cream ale which originated in Kilkenny, Ireland.
Kilkenny is very similar to Smithwick’s Draught; however, it has a nitrogenated cream head similar to Guinness.
The ‘Kilkenny’ name was originally used during the 1980s and 1990s to market a stronger version of Smithwick’s for the European and Canadian market due to difficulty in pronunciation of the word ‘Smithwick’s’. It now refers to a similar yet distinct beer.

‘East India Pale Ale’ was first brewed in England last century for the colonies East of India such as New Zealand and Australia.
The beer was unpasteurised and secondary fermentation occured in the bottle during the long journey. Thirsty settlers loved its natural effervescent character and we reckon it still hits the spot today.
Tui’s East India Pale Ale pours an amber colour with a fairly thin off-white head. It has a little malt on the nose, and a suggestion of red fruits (berries and plums), but all rather subdued. On the palate it becomes quite creamy and mouth-filling, with an initial edge of sweetness. That sweet quality persists, though some fruity notes and a touch of raisiny character comes through. Malt is moderate, and hops are too
