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.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - APR 3, 2003
An amber beer with a smooth fine head. It has next to no aroma. The flavor is soft, sligthtly sweet and fruity with an OK bitterness. A little light. A fine beer - but very standard.

Decent maltiness, but zero aroma and lifeless body, as is typical of widget beers.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - MAY 3, 2004
Nitro Keg
Amber color; creamy head. Ordinary aroma; smooth taste, quite poor, just lightly malty-fruity. Unfortunately the final (strong bitterness) is paper-like and metallic.

Looks like Tetley’s tea -- very cloudy dark-tea colored, with nice beige head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is grassy/earthy hoppy, and slightly malty. Tastewise, upfront is malty with some sweetness, and finishes with pleasant earthy bitterness. Creamy/smooth. Not a strong taste at any point, but nice nonetheless.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - SEP 12, 2006
Can. Off-white nitro-head on top of a golden body. Caramel aroma and flavor with some sour notes in the aroma. Medium body. A bit boring but not bad at all. Just didn’t inspire me. (060819)

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - JAN 28, 2007
Nice pale amber colour with a small rather short lasting white head. Fruity and malty aroma. Flavour has a mild toasty maltiness with a good moderate bitter hoppiness and some mild roasty caramel.
