A strange old Mild

[david_42]

I made a batch from a 1909 recipe. Used 4 ounces of Fuggles for bittering ~50 IBU, OG 1.044, FG 1.011

And it tastes sweet! I was expecting something more like an ESB. Old recipes and modern ingredients make for weird results sometimes.

Oh well, into the keg and we'll see what it's like in a month.

I can always dry hop with 2 ounces of Cascades and call it an IDA.

I made an IPA that was more sweet than hoppy and completely not within the style.
I've named it a CHPA for Cape Horn Pale Ale.

It never made it to India.
