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.

On draught at Mac's Cafe in Columbus. Darker amber color with a medium thin and creamy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is lightly malty with a faint roasted quality. Flavor is very smooth, consisting mostly of malt, but there is a little caramel hanging in there as well. Finish is lightly bitter hops. Decent, but nothing great.

Great look on the pour (the guinness effect-with a tan beer). Nice colour, good but a bit mild smell. The flavour is good, not enough characteristics to classify it as a world-class beer, but a good english style ale straight from a can!

i remember this one well. Bronze color with a rich creamy head that sticks. The flavor jumps at you and leaves a tang in your mouth. Not terribly bitter though. Very good beer, they have it on nitro keg at my local tap room for $5 a pitcher every thursday. cant beat that. Has a nice meaty/earthy taste reminiscent of eating a nice shepards pie while taking in the bracken smell of the fell lands up in northern England. Old Rating 3.9 Rerate Nitro tap January 2005 at some random bar. Don’t really know why I rated this so highly or liked it so much before. The lines between this and boddingtons begin to get very blurry. Watery to the extreme, like soaked cardboard or wet leaves. Truly boring.
