XXX must have been a popular beer. It was usually brewed in batches of 215 barrels, larger than any of the other Milds. X and XXX were mostly under 100 barrels and XX around 150 barrels.
With a higher percentage of sugar, it’s nudging up into what I’d call semi-dark country. Though falling well short of the colour of London Milds. And that’s with me assuming the sugar is the relatively dark No. 3 invert. Any sugar lighter in colour would leave it well in pale land.
There’s little more to tell. Other than the slightly different proportions of malt and sugar, the recipe is the same for the weaker Milds in Boddington’s range.
As usual, four English and one Californian type of hops graced the copper.
