Completing the set of Whitbread Pale Ales is Family Ale. A beer which had been around since the 1870s. Though it had lost a few degrees in gravity. And also remarkably similar to something else.
Namely IPA. The ingredients, OG and hopping rate of FA are just about identical with those of IPA. It makes you wonder why they bothered brewing two identical products. FA would be another victim if WW I, last being brewed in 1918.
All fresh East Kent hops, again, three types all from the 1908 season.
