Boddingtons Pub Ale

Well known in any British pub it fails to deliver. Just a run of the mill bitter. I do have to say that it looks nice however.

Bottle and Tap. I know some people the truly believe this to be a gift from god. Sorry, I’m not one of them! Love the Widget!

I love how the beer looks. It’s a lot like watching a light yellow Guinness settle after a slow pour but that’s where the enjoyment ended. The taste is so average and boring it put me to sleep. The metallic aftertaste was a nice end to a poor beer.

The appearance of this beer overshadows its simple beauty. Rich golden color topped by creamy thick head. (Widget cans will disapoint, look for it on tap.) Very slight malt aroma with no hop aroma. The flavors are equally slight, but not unpleasant - just hints of light malts and honey. Mouthfeel is bigger than the rest of the brew lets on, but not syrupy. Light hoppiness in the after taste. I love this brew as a session beer or a palate cleanser between big agressive brews.

It excited me at first with the creamy, thick, white head. The head tasted great, reminded me of a foamy marshmallow type taste. The aroma, however, left something to be desired. As nice as the thick, creamy head was, I didn’t really care for the beer all that much. It was extremely watery in contrast with the head and just felt weak overall to me.

Caramel colored, pleasantly accessible ale for warm days. Has a slight nutty nose, flavors of roasted caramel and hops. Not a stunning beer, but is a pleasant refresher with low carbonation, so is food friendly.

Thick white creamy head. Dark amber in color. Smooth ALe with a mild bitter after taste. watery with mild hops and malts.

Golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma and taste of light sweet malts and light mild hops. Thin, bland, watery, malty and astringent with a mild bitter finish.
