Boddingtons Pub Ale

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

Nitro can (my first). Deep, dark golden pour with lots of carbonation and a rich, extremely creamy white head. Faint pale malt aroma with some grassiness. Taste is almost non-existant, a touch of sweetish malt settling into a semi-dry bready finish, but again, this sucker needs to be consumed by the gallon to find any appreciable flavor. Slightly creamy watery body. With no bitterness, really deserves to be called a Mild. Doesn’t really earn any points just for being inoffensive, but then again, probably one of the lightest, easiest offerings I’ve found in a while.

Nitro Draft - Hazed gold, thick creamy white head. Soft fruity honey aromas with a slight floral edge. Bland basic fruity flavor balances on touches of sweet malt. Just a hint of pale biscuity-like malt flavor in the end. Light and thin, soft carbonation, mild fruity finish. Went down like water at least....

Draft at a local Irish pub. Not a bad brew, very pale tan appearance with large creamy head. Aroma was somewhat lacking. Flavor was kind of flat but I guess thats what they are going for. Palate was pretty smooth and overall a decent drink if you want something that wont overpower you with taste.

Light honey color with a full frothy head! Doesnt really smell like to much, or taste like anything either except for its small bitter finish. To sum it up its a blonde Guinness!

1st thing is the unusualness of the plastic piece in the can. It’s used to maintain the look of the beer, however a beer in a can is enough to really challenge it’s integrity, so it’s weird. It’s aroma is minor. It’s appearance is inviting, making you want to sample this brew. It’s flavor is bitter as expected, but not really delightful. It’s feel is bitter, but if you know enought to buy boddington you know that’s part and parcel. It is an experience, probaly much better on tap

Amazing pour. Poured from the pint can into a clear beer glass. The head started about 4 inches high and slowly subsided. The head becomes the creamiest white I’ve ever seen. The aroma is sweet and floral. First taste was a bit light then the nice bitter hops in the finish. Nice, slightly sweet maltiness with long lasting mild bitterness. The palate is smooth and creamy. I could drink a barrel of this tasty brew but I am partial to Engish beers anyway. Drink this as the first beer of the day and I think you’ll enjoy it. Provided you aren’t a hop-head and you enjoy the English understated high quality beer making. Once the head subsides the typical Bud drinker would say it had gone "flat". I like the English style of minimal carbonation.

Draft-Memphis. Dense, white, creamy head that does not disipate. Very bitter finish. A great session beer.

On tap. pours golden with a great white head. Creamy. Aroma is a lot of malt and not much else. The malts and hops don’t mix well too much malt, and the hops createa bad spice flavor. I definately did not like this at all.
