Boddington's English Pub Ale (Hydes)

This pale ale apparently was the first to include a widget in a can for distribution. This is a blonde, creamy ale that seems to be a good alternative for people who like Guinness and Wexford.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: Beautiful to look at while is settles. Creamy head. I could smell the malt and light hops.

Taste: It was sweet and malty. It was creamy and light. It had a caramel flavor. I don't know if the overall creamy consistency caused that, or if it was the maltiness. The aftertaste coated my mouth. I got light bitter notes to remind me this was beer, but it wasn't strong by any means.

This has as strange of a past as Smithwick's. It started with Strangeways, then Boddington became the sole owner. Then it's all over the place. It is distributed by InBev, but is brewed in Hydes Brewery in Manchester.

From the distributor site:
Renowned for its golden color, distinctive creamy head, smooth body and easy drinking character, Boddingtons is a medium-bodied pale ale. It has a creamy, malty and slightly sweet flavor and features a clean, pleasant aftertaste.
