Commercial Description:
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 tap at the GLB. Very smooth and drinkable beer. Sort of boring, it’s got a little malt sweetness, not much of a hop profile (I think i’ve been desensitized to hops at this point though). Aroma is dingy hops and musty smelling. Overall refreshing, it’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s not bad either.

M’è piaciuta mica niente, bevuta alla spina a Siena nello stesso posto in cui mi son sorbito la Celis White. Uno zuppone amarognolo quasi fastidioso che mi veniva voglia di lasciar lì.

meh, this isn’t anything great. I like the nitro touch, nice creamy head, but the nose is hoppy, but also slightly skunky, meh nothing special.

Widget draught can, 4 pack on sale. Coppery amber pour with the lovely cascading effect, 1" lasting white head, moderate lacing. Faint malty aroma with a touch of caramel and cream. Mouthfeel is contradicting since it’s very light and watery yet creamy and smooth from the widget. Drinks very easily but is rather thin. Flavor is also thin with no complexities. Light malt, mildly bitter, plain and one dimensional. I doubt this is England’s finest ale as stated on the can.

Can. Golden brown colour with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel, malt. Flavour is caramel, malt. A little bit boring.

On tap. Foamy persistent head. Light aroma. Amber tan. The taste seems more to mellow than crisp. Hops are present, but British hops seem more reserved than German noble versions. A full malt flavor, but only modestly sweet, which is good. Not a heavy or rich beer, but foam makes it taste creamy. A smooth mellow palate and finish, quite drinkable, but not really bright or refreshing. Most nitrogen brews seem to lack refreshing quality for me.

Nice clear amber pour with a huge, creamy white head courtesy of a widget can. Subtle malty nose, soft malty flavor with a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Nice quaffable beer.

This was one of the weakest beers that I ever had. The aroma, mouthfeel, palate, and appearance were bland. All of the flavors were muted and had zero complexity.....along with a 3.8% ABV.
