Jan 6, 2006 Widget can. Creamy nitrogen foam head on top of clear amber - looks too pretty. Some caramel malt, metallic hops, and, strangely, some cloves in the aroma. Very bland flavour, with a touch of bitterness and some light sweetness. Very piss-weak palate - even for 3.8% abv - and a very metallic feel. The smooth nitrogenation seems to exacerbate the weakness. Very easy to drink, but it’s not particularly interesting. A good choice if you want to be drinking beer and you don’t want it to taste like beer or get you intoxicated!

Nov 5, 2005 Truly disappointing. Taste of a little malt, a little bitterness, a little floral hoppiness. Didn’t have the artificially beautiful appearance of a widget beer, but it did have the insipid mouthfeel of a nitrogen widget can. Weirdly off, herbal flavors; actually made me think of iced tea. Maybe with sugar and lemon this would have been a drinkable version of a shandy; as it is, though, it is drain pour. Nothing about it was enjoyable. Among the worst; in some sense less enjoyable than a Michelob. This is enough to make me eager for a Heineken.

Oct 30, 2005 Amber golden body with a small head that hung around for the distance. Fairly smooth taste "as I was expecting", nutty, burnt caramel and resiny hops also a bit of butterscotch but overall fairly bland and no real guts.

Sep 26, 2005 This was the can I really didn’t want to try after the 4 can "draught" beer tasting ( see Caffreys, if your interested ) I have to say, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but it’s still rubbish, smooth and pretty tasteless, it has more of a texture than a flavour. Re the commercial description, why does a higher alcohol content " meet the need of the home-based drinker"?

Sep 24, 2005 Orange amber coloured, with a dissipating off-white big bubbled head, but with good lacings. Aroma of light caramel malts, and grass. Good session ale with nice malts, woody in character, and a nice hops in finish, crisp and British. Medium bodied. Bought in Halifax, March 2005, non widget Original Bitter can.

Sep 20, 2005 It’s not a very compelx bitter. But it’s very drinkable. Not too much aroma. Aftertaste is a bit bitter.
