What I'm Drinking Tonight: Boddintons Pub Ale

There are 4 things MrMary takes pleasure in, in life: alcohol, women, and the other two are secret. I left work late and went to a rather well stocked Duane Reade and spent 15 minutes standing in front of the beer section. I am in no way a cicerone – a beer expert sort of like what a sommelier is for wine. While I love alcohol in most forms beer has a special place in my heart, it is my go too  day to day kind of thing. Weekends I reserve for  shots and the tough stuff, the stuff that will drown my sorrows away as effectively as time did the acting career of Steve Guttenberg after Police Academy. So i thought I would start a series of post called : What Am I drinking Tonight?. I’m doing this as much for you as I am for me, sometimes I need to make  recommendation for a party or a gathering of friends and I can check this on my phone

What am I Drinking Tonight ?

Talking about beer is quite perverted even if one doesn’t wanna be. Before I get into it there are some things I would like to say about drinking beer. I like to enjoy my beer, ale, stout in a glass, not because I am a pussy, but because:

1. Its gets out the extra carbonation (gas), you will be burping much much less because the extra carbonation will come out as you pour into the glass. Your lady will thank you guys.
2. If you have poured the beer right it will have a creamy top on it. Smell si a  huge component of taste and the aroma of the beer is very important to get the full taste .
3. It’s aesthetically pleasing and funny to make jokes with: the beer head is measured by fingers: The beer foam is generally has to be 2 fingers thing for the proper aesthetic look. Too much head is bad and takes away from enjoying the drink, too little head is always bad

Boddingtons PUB ALE 2.5/5

I call this beer the big let down, or a flaccid erection. Yeah ladies you checked your man out you got all excited and you like what he working it, but its never how it has to be to get the job done. That’s how I feel every time I drink this beer. Why  well the beer is really really smooth, and when you pour it it looks like something out of a commercial. It is epic like a beautiful girl that actually wants you and shows interesting with you having to fork over money. its a really beautiful pour. I would pour it myself and take a picture but I’ve already drank 3 pint and don’t feel like having  a fourth and its 3 in the morning. Im not bout to look for anything and set stuff up.

The Smell / The Taste

The Taste is very very mild and a bit watery.Though I don’t recommend drinking it ice cold, letting it warm up wont change much of anything. You don’t smell or taste much of  hops, there might be a slight slight flowery sort of sweet after taste but that’s about it. My Mother Hates beer and ale. But she likes this one its’ not too bitter or hop-y. It’s smooth water very faint. I have always been a fan of assertive tastes so this one didn’t do it for me.  Well to be honest I drank 3 pints worth of it. Its drinkable but …. its a bog let down once you’ve seen it poured.

I’m going to my friend party tomorrow and I’m hoping to be able to score some absinthe now that its legal or maybe something more exotic like raki or ouzo  but we shall see, wish me luck
Peace
