And an Ordinary Bitter is what it looks like. Something along the lines of Barclay Perkins XLK. The difference being that Cairnes brewed a lot less o their beer. Both in absolute terms and as a percentage of all the beer they brewed.
The main difference with E.I. Ale, other than a 5º, drop in gravity, is the appearance of an adjunct in the grist. Namely, flaked something, which I’ve guessed at being maize. There’s an equally vague type of sugar. Which I’ve conservatively guessed at being No. 2 invert.
Guess what the hops are? Yes, exactly the same as all the other beers: half Oregon, half English, both from the 1912 season.
