Kind of like a light guiness. Its thick and creamy but with little flavor. Its worth trying, but its not gonna blow you away.

On tap at the Elephant & Castle in San Diego. Pours a beautiful golden color with thick, frothy Guinness-like white head. Smells malty, perhaps some honey in there... not much smell. Tastes surprisingly creamy, even though it is a bit watered down. Lots of malts, slight metallic tinge, not much else going on. Not bad, not really a fan of bitters.

Clear golden with a strange white lumpy head. Not much aroma just a little malt. Flavor is barely bitter but mostly bland. This beer feels like water. I wasn’t expecting much and so I can’t say I am disappointed.

I think Boddington’s is so underrated! The pour is beautiful, a solid golden body with an amazing thick white foamy head. You can smell hints of corn, barley, it’s a little malty. This beer only gets a bad wrap because it’s a little watered down, which is true. My advice to you.... Always drink off tap or from a frosted mug, let the head seattle, and don’t go into this beer expecting too much, and I think you’ll enjoy it

Pours clear amber with thick, creamy white head. This beer is a glorified light, mainstream beer. Its head is a little different from the others, but the flavor is light and minimal. Not my cup of....beer.

I first had Boddingtons on draft in Scotland and it was really nice - cans in U.S. are not as good. The beer has a nice golden amber color with a creamy white head that lasts and lasts. The aroma and taste are of light malt balance with hops - Finishes smooth. Nothing spectacular here, but a nice solid beer to enjoy from time to time
