Poured from a nitro tap, an attractive amber with the a creamy off-white head, full of the expected bubble cascade on the glass. The head stays with the beer throughout. The nose was of carmalized malt with a slight fruitiness. The taste started with fruity notes of peach and berry, plenty of sweet malt notes and just a tiny bit of noble hops at the end. The mouthfeel was quite disappointing. The nitrogen didn’t help much, except to put a pretty, creamy head on the beer. Slightly oily, no ’creamy’ mouthfeel and not enough hops to spice up the palate. All in all a pretty run of the mill English Bitter. I’d like to think the nitrogen would have made this a more interesting brew but that’s not to be the case.

Jul 8, 2008 Can. Pours a brown colour with small head. Aroma is vague. Flavor is non-existent. Absolutely tasteless. Bad.

Jul 6, 2008 I had this on tap at the Ren Faire in Bristol, IL. It poured a deeply golden/amber with a fine creamy head. The nose was a little bland, a sort of hoppy grassiness. The palate, though, was far better than I was expecting. A very creamy flavor with light citrusy notes set against grassy hops and butterscotch in the background. A welcome surprise on a hot day.

Jul 1, 2008 Overall a great beer for only 3.6 percent. I had this in a can, and it said 3.6 but this site says 5, so maybe the Canadian can versionis lower?? Anyways, the beer pours a amazing golden colour with a huge creamy white head. A slight bitterness does not detract from the fruity aroma which is the predominant taste. Had in can, but can get on tap at Kilkennys Irish Pub, Calgary AB.

Jun 24, 2008 From the widget can to a pint glass - Love the pour from these widget cans, nice reddish brown with thick building foam head. Creamy smooth caramel malts with a hop bitterness on the pallet. Body is a little weak all around with a mildly bitter finish.

Jun 21, 2008 The aroma is very light, nothing jumps out as a hint to the flavor. After the pour finishes it is a pretty orange hued amber, with a big frothy/foamy head. I really like the nitrogen widgets, and their resulting pours. The flavor is very mellow, the a touch of malts, and very light hops. An enjoyable beer, But there are better bitters.
