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.

Widget can. Average, bland, flat, and simple ale. It’s not bad... It just lacks any degree of complexity of a good English bitter (e.g. Fuller’s).

Can. A truly stunning pour with some of the best lacing I have ever seen. Not much character going on some smoothed out slight maltyness which is highlighted by the velvety texture of the brew. Really not much going on aroma-wise. Eh

Easy drinking, solid bitter, but the nitrogen plays havoc with your stomach. i would rather drink this than a pale lager.

Palate is smooth, finishes rather sweet. smell and taste just aren’t there for me on this one. Very creamy. to be expected.. Overall ok but not great.

This has a surprising amount of flavor for a macro nitro from england- lots of thick creamy light malt, slight bitterness, and overall delisciousness. There is more mouthfeel than flavor, which makes me perfectly happy ordering many of these. On tap for $3 a pint at Finnigan’s Wake in Key West, Florida.

Enjoyed from a 16.9oz can in a pub glass. The beer pours a clear light to medium amber color with a thick and very creamy white head as a result of the "widget." The nose is initially slightly difficult to pin down, as a result of the thick head, but finally shows itself to be malt-centric, with some light caramel notes, along with a slight whiskey/winey character. The palate is relatively full, especially given the light carbonation. Initially it is a bit watery, followed by some nice med-crystal notes, and an assertive but balanced and nicely earthy hop bitterness in the back end. The finish is slightly fruity, but melds nicely with the rest of the flavors. Overall, a nice session beer that seems to be true to the style. A shame that many fail to appreicate it for its merits.

0.44l nitro can - Copper colored liquid, large creamy white head. Nice whisky nose. Nothing really there on palate, boring really. I’ll stick to Boddington’s.
