Boddingtons Pub Ale

[Redbird Fan]

How would you classify Boddingtons Pub Ale --(not Boddington's Bitter) - Do you think it's more of a cream ale, or is it something else all-together-different?

I'm having a heck of a time finding a recipe for Boddington's Pub Ale - in fact, I'm having a hard time determining what the "make-up" of Boddington's might be (so I could attempt to clone based on some other recipe) -

Ideas??

This page says that it is an attempt at a BPA clone, but doesn't say how successful it was:

thanks -

I looked in that book, - the one he refer's to, but it only lists Boddingtons Bitter.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the pub ale and the bitter are the same.

Do you happen to know?

I have only been exposed to the "Pub Ale" - which is also why I am having a hard time figuring out what style Boddingtons Pub Ale is..... and of course their website doens't say........

Quote "...How would you classify Boddingtons Pub Ale ..."

As not very good and a far cry from the wonderful Boddingtons brews of the past.

Compared to anything from A-B; SAB Miller and the like - wonderful. Compared to a good English beer - very ordinary.

BTW, where di you find the list of ingredients? There have been may postings on this board seeking such a list for other brews.
