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.

Had both can and tap. The can pours as if it is a watery pudding. I prefer the keg. Not much of a taste to talk about, well an interesting taste that is. Has a smooth taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste.

can. floral hoppy aroma. amber colour with a cascading creamy white head. very cream and smooth texture. slightly bitter. there isn’t much to this beer; it’s very uneventful and boring.

500 ml "smoothflow" can. 3.8 ABV. Pours with the typical "puddin" head of the widget type beers which eventually settles to a small cap which goes the distance. Zero carbonation in the beer itself which to my tastes softens the beer excessively. Sweet start at first gulp gives way to a nice long lasting hop flavour with a hint of tea/tannin. I would like to try this on tap...

Sampled from 500ml "Smoothflow" can. Poured amber with orangy highlights. Head is solid smooth white. Appears almost still, very low carbonation. Aroma of light mait. Very smooth mouthfeel, sweetish malt again, then ends mildly bitter. 3.8% abv

On tap at Out n’ About in Hamilton, Ontario. Body is dark amber colour that poured a thin beige head. Aroma was sort of sweet and malty, but faint. Taste is slight bitterness with some sweet aftertastes. No too impressive, but decent.

Creamy head on dark tea-like body. Rather still and watery-thin mouthfeel. Faint citrus. Not much carbonation,
