There's nothing particularly odd there. The gravities are about what I would have expected. Though it did strike me that only a couple of the Pale Ales included sugar. This isn't so unusual for the period. Initially, sugar seems to have been mostly used to lighten the body (and colour, too, I suppose) of Pale Ales. It's not until a couple of decades later that it started turning up in Porter and Mild Ale.

Feel free to add some analysis of your own. Me, I've got other things to be getting on with.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-6258351367417939112?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
