There have been a few changes to the recipe since 1900. There’s a slight increase in the percentage of pale malt, replacing some of the adjuncts. Speaking of which, the flaked rice has been dropped, partially replaced by flaked maize.
Three types of base malt were used. A third was made from Californian barley, the rest English. Some of that English malt is described as “Gillstrap”. I assume they mean Gilstrap, one of the big Newark maltsters.
The percentage of sugar is around the same at 18%. However, rather than being all No. 1 invert, a small proportion of it has been replaced by No. 2 invert.
All the hops were English: Kent from the 1909 harvest and Worcester from 1908. The latter having been cold stored. The dry hops were Worcester from the 1909 season.

If you replace the Fuggels with Cascades and swap out the invert sugar with crystal malt and some additional pale maltI, think you’d have a pretty close approximation to Sierra Nevada pale ale.
