It's Light in colour but not taste. Plenty of body , It's got good head retention and gives "History" and 4% ABV I can have more than 1 or 2 at a time. In short. I recommend it.

English Pale Ale

Boddington's Bitter Clone

Tasting Notes:

The color is deep golden to bright copper with its signature off-white head which is very dense and foamy. There is a slight fruitiness to the aroma coupled with a light hop presence. There are subtle malt aromas which lean towards straw-like or easy caramel notes. There are earthy and mildly spicy hints that shine through with the use of UK hops.
