Delivered in a pint glass.

A) I always enjoy the way these nitro taps cascade. This is a light amber, with a full finger of creamy white head. The head is maintained for the duration. Nice lacing.

S) Not much on the nose. Perhaps the faint aroma of malt, a slightly fruity sweetness, and a hint of the bitter English hops.

T) A combination of the grainy flavor and bitter hops. I don't find Boddingtons to be as bitter as some of the other English pale ales I've had the pleasure of drinking. There is an underlying sweetness that provides a nice balance for my taste buds. The finish and aftertaste are decent.

M) This is actually kind of thin, despite the appearance. Having
said that, it is also quite creamy. I attribute this somewhat to how well the head is maintained. This provides a nice mixture for every single sip.

O) This is not a great beer, but it is pretty darn good. If you like English pale ales, this one is readily available, and a solid option.

A - arrived with a thin, creamy head that persisted leaving not so much lacing as much as a sheet of off white foam on the glass. The beer is a clear light golden color. Not bad looking, but the creamy head looks a little odd on a golden colored beer.

S - Not much to speak of.

T - Not much to speak of here either, but it's not bad. Slightly bitter, but no real flavor to go with the bitterness.

M - Creamy. Some say it feels watery, but I didn't get that impression.

O - If you're looking for a sessionable ale with decent presentation and a non-offensive taste you could do a lot worse than this.

Serving type: on-tap
