The grist is much the same as for AK. Just pale malt and sugar, with a dash of flaked maize. Not really sure what type of sugar that was. I’ve just guessed No. 2 invert.
This was part of an unusual parti-gyle with XX. Where the PA was 100% first wort and the XX 6% first, 94% second wort. Leaving the two beers with a1mmost completely different hopping.
Of the five types of English hops used in the whole brew, only three appeared in PA. No indication of origin, type or vintage in the brewing record.
Not only was PA stronger, its hopping rate was also about one-third higher. Which implies that it was meant to be aged longer. I’m guessing that this was either Stock or semi-Stock. Aged 3 to 12 months.

Any connection with the Tetley logo?
One of the things I love about Orval as how it is a commercially brewed pale ale in the same vein as this pale ale.

Yes. The same artist created both in the 1930s. As they were quite a long way apart, he didn't think anyone would notice.
Does this recipe require several pieces of string, an egg, and a bunch of bottles of Abt? Or is that something else?
🫢😅😂🤣
People forget that there was no internet back then.
