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.

Classic and subtle traditional English Ale. Not very strong or distinctive, however, very easy to drink and great palate to boot. One can enjoy this in many settings.

14.9 oz draft can, 3.8% ABV. Clear light copper color. The head was a creamy silky off white. It was an un-yielding half inch thick plank of white cheddar cheese with chunks of sheeting draped around the glass. The aroma was light with sweet malts and pale malts. Initial taste made me think I was drinking water at first. Thin body. Then some biscuit and sort of grainy malts entered. About midway a sprinkling of noble hops peaked out and grew to mediocre levels by the finish.

Pours dark golden with a volcanic nitrogen pour of beige foam. Aroma of lightly sweet ale fruits, biscuit dough, and light caramel. Taste is lightly sweet and doughy with some herbal bitterness. Mouthfeel is light bodied and slightly watery with some-residual sweetness and the ever foamy nitrogen. Becomes watery as the carbonation resides. Not impressed.

440 mL can. 3.8%. Fours creamy beige and settles into copper brown with creamy, lasting, light-beige head. Mild aroma of spice, brown sugar, something vinegary, and dust. Taste is nicely balanced, with brown sugar, apples, and hops. Somehow creamy and tinny-thin at the same time. Nice hops in the finish. Very drinkable, once you get past the texture. I’ll have to find it on tap somewhere.

(#400) Canned Widget Ale Copper color, super creamy head. Very light. It is not wonder the Brits can crash these pints down. Super light and easy to drink, creamy palate. Very balanced!

Again, more dross served up by the northerners. A mud colour (and tasting) bitter. I’d rather drink Tetley’s tea than this filth! Do yourself a favour and avoid this at all costs!

Can; Nose of light caramel and apple esters; light amber with a medium light yellow head; taste is of slightly bitter caramel, with faint apple.
