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.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a medium caramel color with a huge creamy off white head (as expected with a widget). The aroma is lightly sour with a faint flowery undertone. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy (as expected with a widget). The flavor is sour with light peppery and spicy hops. The finish is a tad dry.

Light golden amber with the smooth, cramy head of nitro-cans. Flavor is creamy malts... kinda smooth, but not overly impressive.

Can: Poured a light clear brown ale with just above average head with medium retention. Aroma is light bitter with some malt in the back. Taste is quite weak with some bitterness but also a watery feeling that was quite a letdown. Probably below your average English bitter.

Amber color; creamy head. Ordinary aroma; smooth taste, quite poor, just lightly malty-fruity. Unfortunately the final (strong bitterness) is paper-like and metallic.

Canned. Lighter golden body with a nitro white head. Slight malty nose with faint hops. Key word is light for the tatse, with light malts, and faint salty aftertaste. Light body, read watery. Another lagery ale from the UK.

Had this on tap and I was very surprised. A nice guiness like head and a sweet flowery/fruity aroma. What i liked about this beer is it tastes similar to tea with sugar, a sweet taste. That would be the reason to try this brew.

Easy to drink English Ale. Nice dark orange color, short creamy head. Not much aroma. Bit malty and hoppy taste, quite bitter. Nothing special, but easy to drink.

An amber beer with a smooth fine head. It has next to no aroma. The flavor is soft, sligthtly sweet and fruity with an OK bitterness. A little light. A fine beer - but very standard.
