(Can 44 cl) For some reason I thought this would be a porter/stoul-like beer. But it turns out to be an amber-coloured, clear ale, British style. Watery at the first sip. Velvety head from the nitrogen widget - and a bit flat. Some late hoppiness. A decent attempt at a bitter.

Draught. Copper coloured, creamy beige head. Citric aroma with some hoppish notes. Malty, citric and a bit papery flavour. Smooth and very plump (filling) palate. Semi-bitter finish.

440 ml nitro widget can, bought in Prague. Deep golden/amber colour, moderate creamy head. Pleasant but moderate fruity aroma with some malts and hops. Smooth and easy drinking, just enough hops and malts to make it a little better than "flavourless". Unpleasant metallic bitterness in the aftertaste.

Can with a widget. Sweet malt aroma with hint of hops. Tons of tan head (due to the widget) - dark tan color. Nice malt flavor with bitter finish and very little carbonation - very similar to English canned ales like Tetleys or John Smiths.

The aroma is creamy, slightly sweet, and with notes of straw. The color is amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is very flowery, sweet malty, and rather hoppy though without being bitter. It ends on a slight prickling bitterness. A very smooth beer due to the nitrogen. I like the combination of English ale and Czech Pilsener.

Mix of a Britsih ale and a Czechish pilsener thrown down in one of those Guinness style widget cans. Amber coloured and very creamy. Flowery nose, some grassy hop aroma, rather sweet. Interesting idea, but it's almost a shame mixing a fine Czechish pilsener with a mediocre widget bitter.
