Unlike London brewers, who had mostly cut back to just a single Mild Ale by this point, Chapman still brewed a range of X Ales. This being the weakest of the set.
As was typical for Mild Ales at the time, there’s not much to the grist. It’s just base malt and sugar. There is some interest in the base malt, as there are two types. The majority is made from Saale, that is German, barley.
The sugar is described as “Pale Ref”. Not sure what that might be and have substituted No. 1 invert. Whatever, the result is a pretty pale beer. Which is similar in colour to their Pale Ales.
Just the two types of hops: Kent from 1878 and Californian from 1879. No dry hops.
