No room for doubt about this being a Pale Ale. I mean, that’s the brewhouse name of the beer. Though, was it sold as that?
A Tetley advert from 1890 offers:
“EAST INDIA PALE ALE,
MILD AND STRONG ALES
PORTER AND EXTRA STOUT.”
I can’t see any other beer Tetley brewed that could pass for an IPA. This must be it. With an OG in the mid 1060ºs and a barrowload of hops, it certainly looks the part. Very similar to a Burton IPA of the time.
The grist isn’t as simple as in the other beers. It’s even simpler: just pale malt. Though there were three different types of it.
I said there were a lot of hops, and there certainly were. A massive 16 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt. Leaving the IBU count well north of 100. And that’s after reducing the hopping rate by 20% to account for the age of some of the hops.
Only four different types of hops this time: Kent from the 1887 season, Worcester from 1886 and 1887, and Burgundy from 1887.
