Notes
This is an excellent clone of Harviestoun Brewery's "Bitter and Twisted Blonde Ale," which was voted the world's best ale at the World Beer Awards in 2007.Ratings

According to https://harviestoun.com/product/bitter-twisted-golden-ale/
They use Lager rather than pale male
They use pinhead oats less than 5% would be my guess
Also Perle, Challenger, Hersbrucker, Celeia and Bobek hops. the last two probably dry or very late hop I would think.
Otherwise your clone is pretty close.
slightly out-of-date
by quafferpete1according to "official" sources the brewery now use Perle hops instead of Challenger.Also some use is given to OAT Grain,but I cannot be sure. ? open for correction!!
