Kilkenny

Kilkenny is a nitrogenated Irish cream ale from the makers of Guinness, which originated in Kilkenny, Ireland. The brand is managed and produced by Diageo. It is available in draught and cans. It is brewed in Ireland and its heritage dates back to the 14th century. Kilkenny is similar to Smithwick's Draught; however, has less hop finish and it has a nitrogenated cream head similar to Guinness.

It now refers to a similar yet distinct beer. Kilkenny is served in similar manner to Guinness; fully risen with a head of 3/4 to 1"...
