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.

used to be one of my favorites .I grew up in Leeds where they brew it.As my palate develops I still enjoy it But I have to admit that there are better bitters

I love mild English ales and Tetley’s is one of the best. It pours a beautiful amber body with a soft, creamy, off-white head. Smells of toffee, caramel and a hit of floral notes. Initial taste is sweet with a finish that is semi-salty. The palate is perfect for the type; very smooth and creamy.

Though the fellow I was with - who was from Manchester England - disagreed, this was in my opinion among the better english creme ales. Very nice.

Had a 3 of these on tap today at the Old Bag of Nails Pub. This brew pours a clear hazy ruby copper. The Guinness- like NO2 spawned head is ultra-creamy, lasts to the bottom, and coats the glass in sheets. I’d give it a 5, but using Nitro is cheating IMHO. The subtle aroma is toasted and mellow, speaking of dried fruit and flowers. The warm and spicy flavor is wonderfully complex and balanced. The finish is long and rich. The soft and creamy palate has a mostly full body and a clean feel to the finish. I’ve made a new friend.

From the draught can. A little cloudy, but looked like iced tea. Widget gave a great meringue head that lasted the whole beer. Sweet smell (weak) and taste. Hints of cinnamon and cherry wood. Smooth body, almost flat. Light and refreshing.

Gigantic creamy head subsided into a frothy capuccino head. Reddish bronze color with gratuitous lace. Smoothe super buttery malt flavors with caramel peeking through, morphing into a toffee flavored experience. Fruity aromas. Nice Balance. Not as good as the draught, but beggars can’t be choosers. Yummmmm. Mellow.
