John Smith's Extra Smooth Ale

John Smith's is brewed in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England.  It is 3.8% ABV and is the best selling bitter ale in England.  In England a "bitter" is the traditional and general term for a type of pale ale.

This can has a widget, generally put in a beer can to provide gases to give a creamier effect.  The beer pours a pale brown in color.  The gas widget provides a surge of bubbles that must be given a chance to rise up from bottom to top and form an inch tall head of very thick and very creamy foam, just off-white in color.  The aroma is roasted and toasted malt, a touch of nuttiness and caramel, with a tangy, grassy twang on the end.  The taste follows the aromas, emphasizing the maltiness, with just enough tang and bitterness on the end to prevent sweetness.  The mouthfeel is elegantly smooth and creamy.  This is a very nice bitter.
