lager or pilsner as smooth as boddingtons

Referring back to the original question, I feel bound to address the issue of why on earth someone would want to seek out a beer that resembled Boddington's in any respect.

Thank you for the very interesting exchange regarding the gases used for pressurizing the beers; it's interesting how people's tastes vary. For me, the nitrogen smoothness is pleasant in the darker roasted stouts, but almost nauseating in bitters. I have never known it to be used for a lager beer.

I live in the SE of England where much IPA and similar are brewed. In my opinion, any aritificial gassification of these beers greatly diminishes the flavour rendering them from delicious to merely pleasant.

It seems sad that your nation's barmen are too lazy to use manual force to draw beer from the cellar into the glass, yet expect to tipped every time you take a drink!

Cheers
