Boddingtons Pub Ale (Can)

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

Serve in English pint

Can. Clear deep golden with a short creamy white nitro foam that lace pretty nicely while drinking. Weak sweet malty aroma with ripened fruits, some yeast, caramel and toffee. Taste is also pretty weak with some fruits, butterscotch, some honey and toffee, and a soft grassy bitterness. Smooth and slight creamy mouthfeel but very weak body and carbonation is close to flat. This is a beer that I think best should be drunk in a proper pub poured proper from a more proper vessle than a can.

This is a fine english export pub ale. Relatively low alcohol, light bodied, and very very sessionable. Nitrogen widget provides creamy and full mouthfeel which is followed by a dry and satisfying finish. Little to no hop character present. Slightly bready and a bit of saltine cracker/biscuit-like aromas. A gentleman’s lawnmower beer.

[Can] Clear golden appearance, fluffy soft widget induced foam. Malty, bready, sugarry aroma. Soft malty, predominantly sweet palate, a little nutty, mild hop fruitiness. A little thin. Disappointing since I remember it so fondly from my college days.

a classic english bitter. a touch of honey to the taste. When run on draft nitro it is nice, smooth, creamy feel with a cascade like Guinness.

On tap, creamy smooth, much lighter for a bitter beer. Thick I inch head, not well balanced, not a lot of complexity, but enjoyable. I was surprised to see many low ratings for this brew, I think it’s worth a try.

Copper with a white creamy head. Mild bready malt, not much else at all (unbalanced). But I enjoyed the smoothness.

Nitro Tap. Creamy white head atop of dark yellow to amber pour. Aroma has some bready notes but is faint. Taste weak. Some sweet, maybe caramel, maybe a touch of bitterness. Lacking in the fullness of flavor. Almost watery.
