Typical English Ale, very creamy with the widget, malty with light hops. Very smooth, I can drink this all day and the ABV is listed at 3.8% which is much lighter than other beers I consume. I really enjoy drinking this, very refreshing.

(Draught at Manchester Airport, 26 July 2009) Dark amber colour with creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark fruit, apricots, wort and toffee. Slightly toasty and rather tired. Malty, nutty taste with caramel, wort, dried fruit and no evident traces of hops. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Rather sweet. Quite industrial but not too bad.

Widget can. Basic beer smell when opened. Pouring gives a nice Guinness surge, leaving a thick creamy head over a reddish-gold body. The "pub pour" give the beer a nice silky texture and appearance, but the taste in not quite equal to the presentation. Then again, this is an "ordinary" bitter. Midway down, with my nose in the glass, I get some English hops. Not as terrible as some have claimed, but this is the typical "warm, flat beer" our boys in England joked about during W-W-2.
