I had this on tap at the Ren Faire in Bristol, IL. It poured a deeply golden/amber with a fine creamy head. The nose was a little bland, a sort of hoppy grassiness. The palate, though, was far better than I was expecting. A very creamy flavor with light citrusy notes set against grassy hops and butterscotch in the background. A welcome surprise on a hot day.

Sep 25, 2008 Widget can. Pours with a dense, cheddar orange body with a thick, one-finger head. Aroma is classic English biter malt with a touch of butter. Flavor is flat, bitter malt with a sour nut finish. Watery and butter-slippery mouthfeel. Eh, just an average English ale.

Sep 16, 2008 $5.99 for a four pack of 14.9 oz nitro cans, but this was only 3.6%. Served cool in a proper pint glass. Clear pale copper beer with a big thick creamy head that stays the glass. Malty aroma and flavor and some hop bitterness at the end. OK flavor and very creamy mouthfeel, but overall very average and uninspiring. Not bad if you are looking for a low alcohol beer, but I give it a downcheck for that. Another Boddingtons, and thats not a compliment. Reminds me of all the similar pub ales I had in London when I was there with the Navy.

Sep 3, 2008 Updated: Sep 6, 2008Taste 9/8 Widget Can(best by March 09). Looks: Silly nitrogen, tricks are for kids. Clear copper body with nice cascading foam. Aroma: A little yeast and malt sour. Taste: Makes boring taste exciting. Now with extra bland Creamy head, boredom and a little(I mean very little) bitter on the end.

Sep 1, 2008 Stale cracker malt backbone. Very mild hop accents, really cannot imagine an ale being more average than this. maybe a bit below avg because it was so stale tasting.
