Variations
- Smithwick's Draught has a ruby red tone and a creamy head. It is produced using hops and special roasted, malted barley. Its texture is smooth and refined, with a bitter and complex finish. In 2004, Diageo PLC began distribution in the USA. Smithwick's had previously been marketed in Canada with great success.
- Kilkenny Cream Ale is similar to Smithwick's Draught; however, it has a cream head similar to Guinness, and it has a stronger taste(more bitter than Smithwick’s). The 'Kilkenny' name was originally used during the '80s and '90s to market a stronger version of Smithwick's for the European and Canadian market due to difficulty in pronunciation of the word Smithwick’s; but it now refers to a similar yet distinctly different beer.
- Smithwick’s ale has been awarded seven gold medals in the Monde Selection Beer Tasting Competition

Famous quotes containing the word variations:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
