To complement their stronger XX Mild, Fullers also brewed the weaker X. The war hadn’t been kind to X, dropping it to minimum OG, down from a more respectable 1033º in 1939. At least it wasn’t going to get any weaker. Though, at just 2.5% ABV, it wasn’t really an intoxicating beverage.
You won’t be surprised that it was parti-gyled with XX, hence the grists are identical. As are the hops, which were all English from the 1943 harvest. So reasonably fresh.
Though X was Fullers biggest seller, they dis brew considerable quantities of XX. In this particular parti-gyle there were 225 barrels of X and 155 barrels of XX.
