Boddingtons Pub Ale

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

A wonderfully creamy pub ale, one of my old stand-bys. Nothing particularly special, but I like it.

This beer is kind of a mess, the texture doesn’t fit the taste which is nigh nonexistant apart from some bready grainy notes that would find a home better in some other less widgety affair. Metallic aftertaste doesn’t help things either.

Pint can served at 9 Irish Brother’s restaurant. Pour was initially clouded/creamy, which subsided to a thick yellow orange with a cream head. The aroma of cream and some citrus was present upon consumption. This is about as far as the cream goes, however. The flavor lacked quite a bit of the cream I was expecting, so this beer tasted more like an amber ale. Overall an average beer, but a bit disappointing for me, since I was looking forward to a cream ale.

A light bodied amber coloured beer with large head. Sweet aroma with a sweet malty flavour. Light bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Nothing special but not bad.

can. creamy, smooth. slightly bitter. head looks like guinness. not the best. could do without

I drank a lot of these before I became more snobish in my likings. I liked the creamyness provided by the device inside the can and the smooth slighlty sweet taste. Now that I know other bitters, I feel this is a rather boring beer, with not much hop bitterness in the taste and somewhat quite watery. Not an awful product from a macro, though...

This was like drinking a watered down re-refrigerated can of beer from your pantry. The appearance was deceptive in that the color made my mind at ease. Disappointg considering the cost was 8 bucks for 4 pint cans.

Pours golden orange color with a huge, thick off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts and a hint of citrus. Flavor is a letdown--it’s like drinking a Black and Tan if the two beers were mixed together and then watered down. Just couldn’t get into this one.
