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.

From a nitro can. The body is dark orange that approaches amber. The aroma is iced tea, flowers and grass. The taste is very light and woody iced tea. This has the typical nitro can mouthfeel that is creamy and smooth.

(draft) Good lacing. No detectable aroma, flavor, or aftertaste. There was just a hint of bitterness that faded before swallowing was complete. Not bad, but very boring.

Pours with a clear amber body topped by a thick creamy head with lots of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and malty with a nice underlying bitterness and some fruity notes. The flavor is similar with a bit more hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied and smooth.

I agree completely with schultsc on this one. Like a younger bastard brother of Old Speckled Hen. Not horrible, mind ya, but not something I’d take to the barn to try a shag with my gal from Leister.

This is a nice pub ale but has a lot less going for it than Old Speckled Hen, Wexford, or Abbott, which have a ton more flavor. This is an enjoyable beer but not enough to make it really remarkable. Refreshing with a little bitterness and a nice, smooth mouth feel.

Pours amber with a beautiful rolling head typical of nitrogen widget beers. Nose is faint grassy hops, very faint malt flavors, mild cream. The flavor is just like Cream-o-Wheat. Mouthfeel is very creamy. Pleasant, rather boring, reasonable bitter.

Widget can. Clear deep amber pour supporting a classic widget-generated creamy off-white head with very good retention. Faint aroma of malt with a hint of summer fruits. Flavor suffered from the deadly duo of the can & widget but some toasted malt, hay, apricot & biscuit survived. Mouthfeel was creamy at first but fell flat rather quickly. Finish was not memorable. Overall, not worth seeking out outside of England.
