I'm actually surprised at how the technology of these cans creates the "fall" effect seen in actual draft versions of this beer. Boddington's holds a special place in my heart since I first drank it in a small Manchester pub the night after my wife and I became engaged. Here in the can it had the distinctive "fall", the golden color, creamy head and pleasing taste as it did then. A faithful reproduction of a worthy brand.

Nice looking pour. Dark amber with a dense white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is faint nuttiness and malt. Taste is the same but there is an odd plastic finish.

on tap @Fox&Ferret (Christchurch, NZ). creamy, lightly bitter, a good ale.

440 ml nitro can. Poured a solid amber colour with a small but lasting nitro head. Not much on the nose, and the taste is very mild. It’s dominated by malt and bread flavours with little hops. The palate is short. Inoffensive lighter ale but not very exciting.

Draught from a shaker. Beautifully colored golden beer with nitro charged head. Aroma is muted, as expected, due to the nitro. Taste has some mild sweet malts, and a bit of banana sweetness. Sessionable and has a beautiful mouthfeel.

on draft pours golden yellow/orange color with frothy white head dissipating leaving some lacing on the sides of the glass. once the head has settled it has a creamy texture to it with sweet malts and very little hop action. the body is medium and balanced. decent enough beer but the flavor is just kind of bland. i am sure its good to some.

Can. Orange pour with white head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is light, sweet malt tones.

Very creamy beer through the end. I personally like it better on tap.........., ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

No aroma. Thin head. Pale gold color. Very very creamy. Good simple beer. Overall I really enjoy this. It’s a good light beer for when I just want to relax.
