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.

Widget can from the <a href=http://www.lcbo.com target=blank>LCBO in Peterborough. Copper in colour, creamy white lasting head, nice lace. The aroma was of very light caramel, creamy, light grassy hops and just light in general. The flavour was slightly sweet, some noticeable caramel malts. Creamy mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes thin, fairly quick.

Easy to drink, easy to love, this is a good session beer. Regularly visit this on tap at Mahars, its malty and tart, great finisher after a long night of killer brew.

Pours a light amber. Smells kinda sweet (honey?). Flavor has some malt and a touch a hops.

I’ve had a few cans a few different times. Always tastes metallic. I’d love to try it on tap because it tastes great minus the metal.

Not to impressed with this beer. It had a very nice tea like color, and very creamy. It did not have very much taste, or smell.

On tap at Fibber McGees. Tea-coloured with a smooth tan head. Not much aroma-- a little apply fruit maybe. Decent caramel malt flavour and low carbonation make this gulpable.

Smooth and creamy. Not a very distinctive taste, but all right. Nice head. Three more to go. Will I buy more? Maybe. Maybe not.

This is a decent beer, much like Boddington’s in a can, but weaker by comparison. Tetleys is a tea brand, I believe, and this seems like a rich foamy tea. What? A rich foamy tea? What the hell is that? I don’t know. This beer just seems kinda wimpy, like tea to a coffee drinker. The foamy texture is pleasant, but it doesn’t have the creaminess of Boddington’s, which has the same kind of packaging, but more flavor and texture. To tell the truth, this beer put me to sleep. Literally. I took a nap after I drank one. A sissy beer in my opinion, but a damn good sissy beer. :)
