Beer Log #1 – Boddingtons Draught Bitter
By arzhou | May 27, 2010
I decided since I am brewing beer, I got to try as much beer as possible to understand them (great excuse to drink!). Hence I am going to keep an online log of all beers I drink.
I will improve my criteria as I keep trying and reading up on beer. Right now I intend to rate the beer according to smell, taste and feel. But my final overall way of rating a beer would be the really simple question “Will you drink this beer again?”
First beer!
***Since this review was originally written, I drank this beer quite a number of times in the USA. That was when i go drinking out in Connecticut with my friend Kevin. (who enjoys boddingtons A LOT)
Name: Boddingtons Draught Bitter (Wiki)
Type: English Bitter
ABV (Alcohol by vol): 3.5%
Smell: Can smell the malt, no distinct hops bouquet.
Colour: Mild Copper/Gold
Taste: Rather mild and straight forward beer, does not really have any complexity at all. Definitely can taste a grassy. Very mildly bitter. There is a slight bitter aftertaste, but it does not really last very long. No distinct hops flavour.
Feel: Rather smooth beer, easy to drink.
Head Retention: The foam head lasts really long. Based on multiple personal experieces and observations
Carbonation: Not much, rather flat.
Opinion: Easy to drink, would be good on a hot day. It just goes down so so sooooo smoothly… honestly it is THAT SMOOTH
Rating: Smell - 3/5 Its really nice to smell the sweetness of the malt
Taste - 3/5 Does not stand out, fairly mild and light. Good for those who are not into strong, bold beers.
Feel - 3.5/5 Very smooth, especially with its nice creamy foam head.
Overall Rating: I drank it almost at least once each time i hit the pubs in CT, it never fails me for sure. Its usually a good beer to begin with and its smoothness and rather light taste means its easy to drink it again. Would i drink it again, YES. But usually I would not have 2 boddingtons in a row, i like to switch up my flavours.
