All these smooth flow beers use nitrogen not co2 it gives it the smooth creamy head, there are lots about over in the uk.
John Smith's Extra Smooth is just a regular ole ale. But it was a fantastic brew!
Also, they do not use nitrogen to dispense this, they use a hand pump as it is a cask (sp?) beer. However, this might be a good time to clear something up for me. I was always under the impression that they use a mixture of CO2 and N2, never strictly N2 to dispense beer. Is this true?

I have a nitrogen tap and use "beer gas" to pour it, which is a CO2/NO2 blend. I love it for a lot of my British styles. Especially Bitters and Stouts.
