Nitro Keg Ale and Canned Widget Ale. An export strength beer brewed specifically for countries outside the UK. It has the same smooth and creamy characteristics as Tetley’s Smoothflow and incorporates a full drinking flavour. It is well balanced with a complex range of malty and hoppy notes, enhanced by a fruity aroma. Like Tetley’s Smoothflow, it is served at 8°C to give extra refreshment.

0,5Lt Can. Amber smooth beer. Minimum aroma but rather enjoyable taste. Very light with moderate bitterness. REfreshing but rather boring.

Draft. Creamy white, with a nice head. Fllavor is very light. A little creamy, with some sweetness. Very smooth. Other than that it was pretty weak and a little watery.

Pint can with widget. Pop and pour immediately into the clear mug. Beautiful fireworks with the head and all. Appearance immediately begins with a 5 then settles to a 2. Big bubbly head is the ending of a rolling head show. Fruity aroma hints that are barely perceivable. This beer is terribly common water smooth without carbonation. Yes, smooth, but too smooth. Need some tingly-ness to liven this style up. Not stimulating to the good taste buds. Finish is odd like whiskey and lots of water. This is exactly as expected after at least a dozen cans of beer with the widget.

14.9 oz draft can, 3.8% ABV. Clear light copper color. The head was a creamy silky off white. It was an un-yielding half inch thick plank of white cheddar cheese with chunks of sheeting draped around the glass. The aroma was light with sweet malts and pale malts. Initial taste made me think I was drinking water at first. Thin body. Then some biscuit and sort of grainy malts entered. About midway a sprinkling of noble hops peaked out and grew to mediocre levels by the finish.

Can. Off-white nitro-head on top of a golden body. Caramel aroma and flavor with some sour notes in the aroma. Medium body. A bit boring but not bad at all. Just didn’t inspire me. (060819)

On tap. Poured into a shaker. Very nice micro head with staying power and lacing that coats the inside of the glass throughout the entire session. Mild malt aromas. Creamy with almost tea-like flavors from front to back and into a lasting finish.

Fabulous. My can says it has a widget in it... couldn’t find it which means it’s probably in my drink... Don’t know how I feel about that. When all the widget action dies down there is a nice amber colored body with a foamy one finger head. Aromas are sweet and appley with some caramel back notes and a little bit of a floral character. Other than all of that, it’s pretty plain. The flavor of it is watery but there is a nice creamy/silky feel to the foam. I just can’t get excited about anything here except the widget.
