Pours with a thick, creamy three-finger head that persists for a long time. Thin watery mouthfeel with a milky taste, and an aftertaste of banana and just plain tap water.

can. Nice cascading pour, settles to a large white head and light golden colour. Aroma is light banana malts, grains. Taste is creamy, light, bit of a bitter funk towards the end. Despite being generic I always had a soft spot for a boddingtons.

canned. pours clear yellow with a massive creamy head, you can tell the nitro widget is in there. smells of grass, hay and tin cans. has a flat sweetness, not assuming. light bodied very smooth and creamy. finish is unassuming as well. quick clean finish. no real reason to buy this again.

My favourite everyday ale. Since its not carbonated I can drink it even if I am wasted. Available at most liquor stores (systembolaget) in Sweden. Taste and the rest is not much to write about. It does its thing.

440ml widget can. Pours with a nice widget cascade, ends up a medium copper colour. Aroma is not very strong, kind of soggy bread. Taste is kind of thin and watery, some light sweetness in the malts and touch of earthy bitterness on the finish. Not entirely without flavour, it could just use some more. Body was reasonably smooth and velvety. Overall, another English style ale that isn’t my cup of tea.

fiercepanda (292) - Missouri, USA - APR 23, 2012
A clear amber beer with a thick off-white head. The aroma is grain and lemon, the flavor is lemon and cardboard. Not pleasant at all.

The cascading goodness makes a statement that this is a smooth tasting beer. Enjoyed almost anytime ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not only was this an incredibly smooth and tasty beer, but it poured a beautiful golden haze with a thick creamy head. I really enjoyed this cream ale.

My favorite looking beer after the pour. Love the waterfall effect caused by the nitro. Nice think creamy head remains. Creamy aroma along with hay or bread maybe? Rich creamy taste at first but then a fairly bland blond ale taste afterward. Not so great aftertaste. Love the creaminess but just ok overall.

A clear, deep gold pour with a large, creamy white head. It has a mild aroma with a touch of sweetness. The light body has a thin texture with soft carbonation. The taste is rather bland with a hint of bitterness toward the finish.
