Boddingtons Pub Ale

The pour is a clear dark straw color with ample head. The nose is quite subtle and hints at hops and slight malt. The flavor is mild and dry. Better than Bud, but not a world class beer by far.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, light amber body with a thick, creamy white head. Smell: Faint aroma of shaving lather and floral hops. Taste: Weak, almost non-existent malt character with a very faint honey-esque sweetness. Metallic hints. Mild bitterness that’s gone for the dry finish. Like water, it is! Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat watery. Drinkability: If you’re looking for an extreme taste sensation, then you’ll be sorely disappointed. If you’re looking for a relatively low-alcohol, smooth, easy-drinking beer, then this’ll do in a pinch. Unfortunately, I prefer the former.

Nothing special at all. The fact it comes in a draught can is cool but can’t make up for the complete lack of taste and sustenance. Had on tap a long time ago and liked more but still wouldn’t buy again.

Nice head, creamy smooth going down. Has a slightly sweet taste, more flavorful as it warms. Good summer beer.

I’ve had the pint cans as well as from the tap in Philadelphia. Genuinely as good in the can as it is on tap. Rich, creamy, perfect head. Good, clear taste and golden color. I drink it weekly down the corner pub.

English Pint size can..with a widget. Pours a clear amber with a nice compact nitro filled head. Nose is plesant and quite clean, almost like a Pils, and with some subtle floral aroma and a tiny bit of fruitiness. Taste is a bit bready, and hoppier than i expected. Some muted earthy/spicy hops in the finish. A bit metallic in the aftertaste. I don’t think the nitro works as well for this style as it does a stout, but this is an easy drinking sessionable beer.

I think from the tap this would be a winner, but the can just doesn’t cut it. Fantastic looking beer that generates a big long lasting white head. Bitter of course but not at all overboard. Pretty well balanced. Hops in this seemed more prevalent.

Pours with weak head. I expected widget inspired head, but it wasn’t there. Appears a bit darker than a mega beer. The flavor is acceptable, but weak. Some bitterness as expected, with a slightly friuity character. An average beer with slightly weaker body than expected.
