Boddingtons Pub Ale

Golden color with a frothy head. A one dimensional, vaguely bitter, metalic flavor with a creamy mouthfeel. This is only really good if you’re an anglophile, and as such there are still better alternatives in Fullers and Sam Smiths.

Golden clear color, with an excellent head that stays all the way, taste has a slight metallic aftertaste, bitter and bit creamy. Not my favorite but not at all bad.

On tap (increasingly available in my area). Light head that laces a little with extremely clear complexion. Aroma is very subtle with hints of honey and slate. Taste is smooth and creamy with little bitterness. Finish is lightly sweet and clean with satisfying hints of malt. A new standby for me whenever it is available due to excellent drinkability.

Pint can compliments of my father’s grocery store excursion. Have had before, but never rated. Pours a nice golden hue, no real haze, with a very pretty creamy bubbled head that sticks around through the entirety and laces a little. Aromas muted, a little bit of vague sweetness. Taste is similar, special for its initial smoothness, creamy head, and light fruity sweetness. A bit of bittering hop close to the finish, but largely smooth and clean. No adjunct. Very nice.

Light malty milky aroma. Big estery retronasal presence. Quite apple-like. Metallic hops, and surprisingly drinkable for something I had a long-standing prejudice against.

Can. Poured yellow and quite watery with lasting head. Light, thin, and kind of watery. Oddly, there isn’t much of a smell to this beer. You have to really strain to find the flavor except to notice how creamy it is, some taste of honey and surgar. Finally tried it, after seeing it in many places. It’s worth a try, but is not something I’d return to often.

Horrifying. Want more characters? It was utterly disgusting, I didn’t like it. Bitter as can possibly be with no redeeming flavors or complexities.

Poured from a bottle. Had a wonderful amber color with a delightful aroma. I was very disappointed with the lack of flavor. Not something i would drink again.
