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.

I hated this for some reason. I dont really remember it but i do remember it not being bitter enough to satisfy.

(Nitro Can) Lovely, deep amber ale. Huge, creamy, ivory head. Whispy, thick lacework. Mild, soapy aroma. Lightly floral. Notes of butterscotch and bisquit. Well-bittered. Hop bite at the tip of the tongue, then mellows as it flows toward the back of the mouth. A touch metallic. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Short, dry finish.

Looks great - dark orange and a strong looking white head. Full, rich mouth feel. Typically English, i guess. nice malt and nice hops, nothing too aggressive. OK. A decent session ale.

Nice amber apearance with a large head. Flavor and aroma is caramel and toffee. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Fairly thin palate. Pretty good beer.

Perhaps I'm missing the whole "thing" with English beers. Almost every one I've tried (even over there) has struck me as thin, watery and lacking any sort of real beer flavor. Maybe American beers have conditioned my tastebuds so much towards a more flavorful tasting experience that I'm missing the point of English Ales. Tetley's (to me) has almost not redeeming qualities. The only flavor I get from it at all is a very very slight mineralistic flavor and then some very light hop bite on the finish. I really want to find an English beer that I like...but...the quest continues.

A quite boring beer. Pretty creamy and that's it really. It is clearly that this is a mass-produced beer.

Had this on tap and I was very surprised. A nice guiness like head and a sweet flowery/fruity aroma. What i liked about this beer is it tastes similar to tea with sugar, a sweet taste. That would be the reason to try this brew.

I know this kind of beer doesn't usually score that well on this site, but I kind of liked this beer. Nice caramelly malt supports a nice little bite of hops that makes this quite quaffable. There's a bit of melon-like fruitiness that keeps things interesting. I'm not big on nitro dispensed beers, but you do have to admit that they make for gorgeous beers. The big soapy head on top of the copper body was quite the sight.
