Widget can. Lightly fruity, malty sweet. Enough bitterness in the finish. Has just a little of that English Bitter vomit taste. Lots of caramelly hay. Bit of a tang. A little thin & watery, but better than expected. The little bit of hop character is nice.

Poured from a nitro can. I comes out in a clear amber with a thin white head. To no surprise, it smells just like your stereotypical ale. The taste is very light and has some nice hints of hops, but is also somewhat watered down. No strong aftertaste, but I definitely get a lot of metallic flavors from it.

Pint can from Market of Choice, shared with my friend Goose. Pours out a clear amber with a thin, fizzy one finger head. Aroma is sweet, full of malt and some light fruit. Flavor is malty, fruity, mostly sweet but with a hint of bitter in there, also some metallic notes. Mouthfeel is pretty thin.

Pour from a nitrogen loaded can. Crystal clear amber color with a dense white head (nitrogen is nice). Smells sweat and simple. Has a creamy smooth mouthfeel. Tastes bitter with a matallic undertone.

Sampled on nitro tap at the Cornish Pasty. Pours a very light gold with a decent head for being on nitro. Firm bitterness, light malt character/complexity (reminds me slightly of Duvel for no apparent reason whatsoever...not spicy or anything, but the pils interplay with the hops seemed similar to me). Slight fruity yeast character comes through as it warms. Fairly easy-drinking, but terribly exciting. At least it isn’t filled with adjuncts.

Sampled from a 16 oz nitro can this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a huge yellow-white head. The aroma was sweet, tangy and fruity. The flavor was sweet, tangy and fruity though fairly mild. The mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. Decent.

Poured clear gold with a nice thick bright white creamy head. Malty aroma and flavor, but pretty one-dimensional on both counts. Creamy mouthfeel, flat carbonation, and a slightly bitter and metallic finish.

When poured this is a very nice looking bear; it has a long lasting creamy head and a nice golden brown colour. Unfortunately the flavour is a bit lacking. While it doesn’t have a watery flavour or feel (it has quite a full body) it doesn’t have a very distinct or rich flavour. The aroma is much the same as the flavour. Not bad, but definitely not great.
