Productive ale bar refurbished (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arable

'productive' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'ale bar refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'ale'+'bar'='alebar'
'alebar' anagrammed gives 'ARABLE'.

(Other definitions for arable that I've seen before include "Type of farming" , "Suitable for ploughing" , "Sort of land" , "may be ploughed through" , "Of land, fit to be cultivated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
