In addition to their standard Mild, Eldridge Pope also had something a little stronger. In the form of XXX.
An Eldridge Pope price list from 1890 has different types of XXX.:
M XXX Burton Ale
XXX Old or Mild Ale
Not sure which one of the three this is.
The ingredients are exactly the same as in XX. Though the proportions aren’t the same. As all the extra gravity comes from more base malt. The quantities of flaked maize and sugar remaining exactly the same. Still none the wiser as to exactly what type of sugar that was.
Half the malt was made from English barley, the rest from what’s simply described as “foreign”. Which doesn’t narrow down the origin much. Could be California, Chile, Australia, Hungary, the Middle East. Anywhere malting barley was grown, really.
There were only two types of hops, both English. Neither with any indication of vintage.
