The aroma has caramel malt and a bit of rum. The flavor is malty and sweet but not overly so. There is a mild bitterness to balance it out. The palate is smooth. Good balance of hops and malt in the finish. Has a hint of sweet nuts. This is good stuff!

This is the only nitro beer that I’ve had other than Guinness and Boddington’s. Watery sweet flavor, not enough hops to taste like a real bitter or esb. Nitro ruins beers.

Paid $1.90 for a pint can single. Light amber with a big, frothy white head. Smells a lot like cheap ol’ beer. Average malty flavor... kinda weak.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Brown, fruity malt aroma, mild hops on finish. Bit bland.

Nice clear orange-amber color with small airy head. Outspoker aroma of hops, some fresh fruits, nuts, and a nice roundness of cane sugar. Nice refreshing mouthfeel with some dry accents and touches of spices, malts, faint fruityness and with an elegant hoppy bitterness. The aftertaste is dry and end with a good hoppyness.

Bottle. Pours tan with a greeneish hue and little head to speak of. Nice fruity esters with a bready aroma. I also get some blackberry and toffee. Very restrained flavors of caramel and toasted cookie with fruit. A little bitterness. Somewhat underwhelming but smooth and clean.

I guess I’m in the minority on this one. Altho I paid waaay too much,$9 a 4 pack,I love this stuff. The insidious nitro can. Ya either love em or hate em. I luvs em. Poured medium amber with the standard huge nitro burst. Big malty,fruity and mild nutty nose. Creamy mouth feel with a tad of bitterness in the finish. If this stuff wasn’t so $$ in my area,I’d buy it by the case(s). Goes down so good and easy. Yum!

Nitro can. Amber color with thick head that seems to last forever. Aroma is malt and fruit. Fairly light body with sweet malt flavors. Smooth and unexciting.
