$5 for a pint at my local pub, and you get to keep the logo glass.

I suppose this would be a "nitro tap" serving type, since the pint I got definitely had nitro in it. Looks like you would expect - the recognizeable Guinness-style creamy head, and a pale body.

Smoky pub - smelled nothing. I get the impression that this beer would not have too strong of a scent in a different situation, either, though.

The taste is extremely mild. I may even describe it as bland. But I imagine mild is what the brewers were aiming for, so I guess they succeeded. I really pick up no hop profile at all.

The mouthfeel is like Guinness draught. Creamy and full-bodied.

I think possibly the only reason I enjoyed this beer was because I just got off work and I was tired and thirsty and a beer - any beer - really hit the spot. Its basically like a lighter colored Guinness. If that is your thing, by all means give Tetley's a try. Its not my thing, and I wont be having this beer again. To me - average, straight down the line.

This is from a nitro can poured into a British pub glass and it is surprisingly yummy. L: It is hazy orange amber under a 1” white foam collar that provides thick lace. S: Bready malt, slight fruit and nut aromas. T: Creamy and drinkable, slight sweetness in the background, malt prominent, lingering hop aftertastes backed by pleasant, biscuit malt – the nitro can sweeps out all of the bitter hop flavors. F: Fairly light but super creamy. O: This is so soothing – this is what you might drink when you have an owie.
