Reviews by berlinabb:3.25/5 rDev +1.9%berlinabb, Jan 01, 2014More User Reviews:3.68/5 rDev +15.4%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4Appearance  This is one of the clearest ales that I have ever seen. Its light orange and sheer as glass. The nice white foamy head never did go down all the way. This one looks terrific.
Drinkability  I enjoyed this one, although Ive never had the opportunity to knock back a few Pale Ales in England proper. Maybe it doesnt compare  but for the time being and keeping this one on my list of buy again.★ 944 charactersRoyalT, Jan 15, 20043.07/5 rDev -3.8%look: 5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3This beer lives up to its description and pours one of the finest heads and colors I have ever seen. A nice thick head with a darkish red/brown color. It has a strong caramel malt smell with grains. The taste is very malty with and a bitter aftertaste with a bread taste as well. The mouthfeel isn't that great however with it's weak carbonation.★ 346 charactersAfricanPete14, Jul 13, 20161.24/5 rDev -61.1%look: 5 | smell: 1 | taste: 1 | feel: 1 | overall: 1My friend brought a 4 pack over to a very drunken game of pool, and really talked this stuff up.The can looked so inviting with its bright yellow color, and the name made me think it was going to taste something like that beer stuff in Harry Potter. It poured with a beautiful bubbly head and from across the room looked very appetizing. As I went over to claim my pint, I thought someone might have shit themselves, when suddenly I realized THE BEER SMELLED LIKE F**KING PUKE!!!! poured it down the drain and then poured wet cement down the drain to make sure it wouldn't come back up. Not sure if maybe they were just ancient stock from Publix or what, but oh god it was terrible...★ 684 charactersPENISBEER, Jul 14, 20122.5/5 rDev -21.6%look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5Know that rattle when you shake up a can of Boddingtons? That's a kid's tooth.78 charactersJotora, May 26, 20153.56/5 rDev +11.6%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5Watching this settle in the glass never gets old. A little on the sweet doughy side. Not quite chewy. Nothing real impressive but nothing offensive. Easy to drink and watch. Nothing wrong with that.★ 198 charactersLobina, Jan 08, 20163.43/5 rDev +7.5%look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5i like boddingtons, and i dont care what anyone says about it. pours a nice nitro powered cream color from the can, but it does its thing much faster than a guinness, with the whole cascade process lasting just a few seconds. it settles into a nice honey colored liquid with an inch or so of foamy white head. the nose is pretty basic, and frankly quite bland. some english pale malts and thats about it. flavor is light and balanced, low alcohol, and perfect for sessioning. kind of tastes like a pancake. love the mouthfeel on this the most, it foesnt have much carbonation, almost like a cask pour, except that its cold. its real smooth and milky in texture. i could drink these all day. i know its nothing too exciting in terms of flavor, but its a classic beer in my world.★ 778 charactersStonedTrippin, Oct 24, 20125/5 rDev +56.7%look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5This beer is explosive when opened . Poured into a pint glass pretty fast and didn't overflow . Fun to watch the beer settle and form a rich and thick creamy head . Beer Has a light blonde color. Appearance looks delicious. I noticed a citrus lemon smell. Beer is malty and not much flavor. Slight bitter aftertaste . Bland. I usually get this beer once a year. Not a bad beer and not a good beer . Might be delicious to drop a shot in with its overall bland taste. Price is pretty cheap.★ 488 charactersErik271, Feb 12, 20163.21/5 rDev +0.6%look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5Have had this many times either in the nitro can or nitro tap I had a few days ago at the Spring House Drafting Room.Pours a deep yellow with a very nice looking creamy head,not much smell to it somewhat metallic and a little biscuit malt but not much.The flavor is pretty bland and dry with some slight maltiness.It does not taste as good as it looks for sure.★ 361 charactersoberon, Aug 15, 20033.36/5 rDev +5.3%look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4A nice looking beer. This guy was very smooth, creamy, and really easy to drink. My school's pub serves this on tap, and I really wish I'd gotten around to tasting it earlier. Easily a session beer. It would be nice if it had a bit more malt flavor, and some kind (ANY) kind of smell.★ 284 charactersMarty, Apr 04, 20032/5 rDev -37.3%davemarc87, Mar 10, 20143.46/5 rDev +8.5%look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4Poured from nitro-can, it had a nice golden color, almost amber. Love the creamy nitrous head. A slight sweet and malty scent, but very faint. Taste smooth and very mild. No bitterness at all. Others have mentioned a honey taste (and there is a bee on the label), but I just didn't taste it. It was more of a slightly sweet ale flavor, but no honey that I could taste. Creamy like a Guinness, due to the nitrous widget in the can. The ale itself is rather thin and not very carbonated, but get a sip of that creamy nitrous head with every gulp. I could have a couple of these easily. Like a better, less watery version of Guinness.★ 633 charactersExtraStout, Aug 16, 20093.59/5 rDev +12.5%look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.75ericstites, Sep 07, 20154.11/5 rDev +28.8%look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5Now that I've had this ale a few times, from the can, not much of a rating difference. I've had a chance to whiff the aroma, and upped the rating a half point, but everything else is still the same. Compared to the on-tap review I did. This ale is very good. Beyond drinkable in my opinion at this time.★ 303 charactersBUD, Jun 27, 20053.35/5 rDev +5%look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5Pours clear autumn orange with a pillowy white head. Cream soda like in the aroma, maybe a lightly hopped cream soda. Really mellow flavor, a little bland but the hops do come in late and offer a shot of bitterness if you're looking. Typical mouthfeel for a nitro-can. Chuggable though not really desirable.★ 307 charactersbrownbeer, Feb 25, 20103.34/5 rDev +4.7%look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4Boddingtons Pub Ale.
And, too bad about the nitro. Nitro beers, in general, tend to mask a lot of the beers character ... which is why most nitro beers share common characteristics, regardless of their style.★ 1,392 charactersTodd, Oct 20, 20013.44/5 rDev +7.8%chip26, Sep 11, 20143.5/5 rDev +9.7%look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3this beer has a kick. Nice flavor and for what it is it is smooth. the plastic thingy inside is interesting, similar to the guiness tap in bottle. i dont know if it reallt enhances the flavor a lot or if it has a psycological affect more than a real effect. but in any event, it doesent taste bad at all.★ 304 characterstwi1609372, Sep 16, 2004
