May 10, 2005 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.

May 8, 2005 Updated: Jun 27, 2005This 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.

May 4, 2005 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.

May 4, 2005 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.

May 1, 2005 Nitro keg. Dark amber coloured with a thick creamy white head. Aromas? Couldn’t really get any. The taste I got was canned peaches odd to be sure but I couldn’t shake it, soft carbonation, mild bittering hops. An average pint.

Apr 13, 2005 Better than I remembered. Poured a teak colour with a widget shaving cream head. Faint nuttiness to the generally malty nose. Widget creamy mouthfeel, like the whipped cream my dear old ma used to make. Flavour profile includes strong tea, a hint of cedar and a typical English nuttiness. Has some lingering bitterness but it’s one-dimensional. (Widget can)

Apr 9, 2005 Updated: Aug 12, 2005Canned widget. Average at best, not so great overall. Can: poured clear amber with white head. No fruit on my aroma, mostly tin. was not extra refreshing, most have been served warmer then 8 C it called called for.

Apr 2, 2005 It was alright at best. It poured nice with a nice creamy head and had little hints of bannana and such but i just wasnt that impressed by it. I prefer boddingtons if im going to have bitter.
