Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours a dark ruby with a small cream head. Malts are very prominent in the nose. They are the mainstay in the mouth as well, being joined by berry fruits and figs, being slightly sweet overall. Finish is (guess what) malty, This is decent enough but a bit lacking in character. Still Boddingtons Mild never was their strong point.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Light hazy golden with a head. It’s a tad dry but mainly hoppy, with an easy session texture.

Keg @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Straw-blonde with a head. Low alcohol but as a 'soda' it's a full enough brew. Hoppy and a tad overcarbonated with its orange notes best in its aftertaste, and fairly stated in this regard too.
