Boddingtons Pub Ale

Brewed by Samlesbury (InBev UK - InBev)
Style: Bitter
Preston, England

nose of metallic tang and nil otherwise. appearance is ultra pale despite the nitro’s efforts to distract you. the same goes for the palate, when you block the volimnious head out of your brain, the beer itself is extremely dead. flavor is lightly sweet but mostly on par with your standard bad pale lager. maybe some of those should add a nitro widget to turn a poor beer into a poor and exciting beer.

I had this on a cruise to the Bahamas at the suggestion of an English dude at the bar. It was nothing special, but I liked it a lot better than the domestic beers that were offered at the bar. Overall a good impression. Reminded me a lot of Guinness.

500ml can
4.7% ABV
I tried this beer on on tap on May 14, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent golden-brown with a thick foamy long-lasting white head out of a can with a widget. The aroma was grainy malt, some hops, and citrusy notes. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, and some hops. Refreshingly good, but not outstanding.

Good flavor full body creamy flavor full like a Guiness stout, but not as dark

Rich golden color with a slight cream head. Taste was good but nothing overly comlpex. I’ve had this in cans (always enjoyed it) and on tap at a local bar (I barely could put it down, I think something was wrong with the tap). Anyway I would drink it again.

Pours gold with a cream head and a cascading thing going on deep into the glass.(pretty cool) Long lace.Aroma was hoppy. nothing really going on there.Taste. a slight hint of spice with a dominating taste of grains. All drinks are at first very watery then you get the grains and bitterness. Ditto of the after taste. Nothing notable really going on with this "pub Ale" but it fits it’s title well a good night out at the bar,pub grill with friends.(well not here in the USA we pay the import taxes at the tap) But I’m sure it would be a good one at the pub in it’s native country.

Golden, slightly hazy pour with a white head and decent lacing. The aroma was sweet, toasted malts, light spice and bread. The flavor was sweet malts and light spicy hops. Thin, drinkable mouthfeel. Sessionable, but on the sweet side.

This was not good. Tasted like someone poured beer in the very bottom of a glass and then poured water the rest of the way. Would not drink again in a million years. The only beer I would drink from the can is something intentionally cheap like pabst or coors, not something thats supposed to be nice. A total drain pour.
