Comments:

Submitted to Because Beer Festival Hamilton, ON July 2019
Silver in British Bitter (8 entries)

It got 38 and 40 out of 50.
Good comments, one noted a hint of Diacetyl, which was definitely there (1968), though it mellowed considerably with bottle conditioning. One of the judges also said that the aroma could pop more. Otherwise they seemed to have liked it and I thought it was excellent as well.

5 of 5

The version listed here was the result of 3-5 batches of me tinkering and dialing it in for my tastes. Since winning and deciding to make this recipe public I have re-brewed it a few times. The grist has remained the same and turns out a solid beer every time.

I have used it with a few different English yeasts (1469 and WLP006 resulting in the best beers, in my opinion). The hops have changed every time, but I just aim for a high AA bittering and a nice English aromatic strain and target the IBUs here (just the tiniest bit over the top of "acceptable" for the style).

A great recipe to try out new English yeasts!
