Boddingtons Pub Ale

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

I had this beer while at the bar the other night. I was other shibby when I drank it so I don’t remember specifics. However, I enjoyed it but it didn’t blow me away.

Clear golden body with about an inch sinced creamy off-white head with nice lacing. Aromas of caramelised malts, caramel and a faint smell of creamy eggnog. Very lightly carbonated, medium bodied for a 4.7 % ale. Smooth creamy mouthfeel... definitely refreshing and better when drank cold. Taste feels slightly watered down.

Yummy....smooth, a hint of honey and cookies in the aroma, followed by a smooth, pale malty taste, with just a touch of sweetness on the tongue. Nice creamy head. On tap in several Irish bars, also in the widget can. A nice alternative to the heavy IPAs or Stouts, if you’re not in the mood for it.

Real smooth beer. Real easy to drink. It is a social beer that goes great for any occasion. It taste best when served in a cold glass pint. This beer confirms the fact that the pubs in England are the best in the world because of the beer they serve. The people are great too.

It tastes nice and is really smooth. REALLY smooth...almost TOO smooth. I don’t have a lot of experience outside of this with cans with nitrogen, maybe the smoothness is due to that. Could stand to be a bit more bitter, a bit more carbonated. The taste is really good (light and sweet) with touches of honey in it. Nice and sweet and malty...almost too much so. I’ve only had it in the can, so I really have no idea what it looks like or smells like.

Rated 8/5/07. Draft. Clear golden body with a creamy, foamy white head that lasts. Very nice, thick lines of lacing noted. Minimal aroma of pale malts, grains, faint caramel and a little bit of unexpected skunkiness. You really have to inhale to pick up much of anything. Likewise, the flavor profile is quite bland. Pale malts, straw, and faint caramel. The body is very smooth and creamy, with a medium bitter hop finish. Just a bland, boring beer.

This is a good beer. It’s alot more than I would expect outta Britain. I’ve had it before but for some reason I’ve never rated it. For some reason I just can’t get enough of these can’s with the carbonation balls in them - very entertaining. I love how creamy the beer is and how perfect it fits in a pint glass with the head topping it off.

I’m surprised I haven’t rated this beer. For some reason, it’s remained off the rating chart until now. Rated this one from tap. Aroma is subtle bubblegum, doughy, and hints of sweet malts. Appearance is a beautiful honey yellow color with a creamy egg-shell white head. Mouthfeel is also creamy, smooth and soft. Subtle sweet honeyish malts permeate the taste of this beer with little else in terms of flavor. Not alot to the taste. Fantastic look and feel of this beer are the stars. Aroma and taste take the backseat and unfortunately that doesn’t really make for a drinkable beer.
