On tap at the The Pub in downtown Louisville Fourth Street Live (great place). Pours golden with white head that stays around, nice lacing, and a little low carbonation. Not big on aroma, fairly well balanced, taste is creamy malt, light ester, and hint of nut. More like a combination of bitter and pale ale than a true bitter, a bit watery.

This nitro can produced an amusing explosion and only a quick grab of my glass prevented a mess. I learned my lesson about these things a while ago, but the Boddingtons widget seemed particularly aggressive. Initially, the beer appears to be a nearly solid off-white head, a roiling mass of tiny bubbles jostling their way to the top. The head settles into a stiff foam, like an over-frothed cappuccino. It looks like you could rest change on top of that head. The beer itself is a pale-yellow gold, a bit disappointing after the big special effects display of the nitrogen. The smell is quite weak. Malty but thin and generic. The feel is a bit watery, which is particularly disappointing when compared to the tap version. I remember Boddingtons having a much creamier, richer feel from my trip to the UK. I had a particularly enjoyable night of drinking Boddingtons once on a ferry from France to Ireland. That was a weird twenty or so hours.

500mL can, pours a clear copper. Nearly nonexistent aroma. Very creamy and bitter mouthful - flavour is pretty unimaginative: subtle caramel and hops. Not bad.

Drank many cans years ago, love the widget-induced head, good English ale. Very smooth, could have been stronger for my liking.

Pint can. Aroma of honey, cheap adjunct grains. The visuals produced by these draught widget cans are pretty cool. It looks like volcano smoke building in the glass. Once the widget releases all of its air, the beer is left with a nice thick head and a deep gold hue. Taste is sweet, then bitter. Has an unpleasant metallic taste. I really cannot stand these low-carbonated beers. Tastes as flat as can be. Not my cup of tea. The best part of the beer is the appearance. But what good is appearance if the beer tastes terrible?

Can. Golden in colour and poured with a dense white head. Aroma of sweetish biscuit malts and something metallic. Flavour was sweet, with a slightly watery mouth feel and industrial, bitter finish. Drinkable but not pleasant.

can, pours a deep gold, waterfalls into a creamy white head. Cream soda and pale malt aroma. Creamy mouth of light malt, straw and hay, some hops but very light in the finish.
