Excellent Brew 
by Pjdes42
I brewed this recently with a slight tweak here and there, as I had Muntons C-150 (~57 SRM) and used WLP037 - Yorkshire Square Ale Yeast. I think I have now found my "latest" house bitter as it's a top notch, well balanced ale. It was my first time using the WLP037, which I love as well and I found that it produced a nice malty beer with some beutiful esters.
Right out of the pub!

Nice recipe! Very light, malty and smooth...if I closed my eyes I could imagine I was sitting in a pub up in Yorkshire! (and I've been to the Black Sheep Brewery in Masham a few times). A perfect summer ale!
Fantastic!

This is one of my favorite recipes. Wyeast 1469 is the best english yeast I've used, hands down.
Yeasty 
by rhk001
Couldn't get on with the yeast. It really overtook the beer, I tried it with 2 other recipes and got a similar profile. Maybe the yeast wasn't good? . I think the recipe is sound though and will try again with 1068 or other yeast.
I made a batch of this for family who were visiting from England, just down the road from the brewery. We did a side by side tasting, and the two beers were virtually indistinguishable. Excellent recipe!
Delicious
by abenaki47A favorite. Light, yet flavorful. Nice head, good mouth feel. Refreshing.
