Digging around in the newspaper archives, I’ve found a beer called LFA. Which, along with AK, is described as a Family Ale. There’s a note which says: “LFA is an Ale similar to the above [AK] but lighter, and suitable for summer use.” The price implies a beer of no more than 1040º. So it can’t be this beer.
Putting the question of the name out of the way, this is a slightly stronger version of AK, being parti-gyled with it. For questions about the recipe, look at the AK I posted earlier.
As you’ll soon see, Crowley had two sets of Pale Ales. This one, which was composed of AK and L, was darker and a bit less heavily hopped. Leaving them with five Pale Ales with a gravity spread of just 16º. Seems a bit of an overkill to me.
