Max's Whitbread Bitter

What do you reckon to this? Pretty simple. Thought the clean yeast and uncomplicated beer would be a nice way to test out the hop.

Might add a little wheat malt for head retention, but wanted to leave it a light coloured and reasonably dry brew.

Ingredients:
6 kg Maris Otter
125 g English Wheat Malt
65 g Whitbread Golding (WGV) (6.0%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
15 g Whitbread Golding (WGV) (6.0%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min
1000 mL WYeast 1335 British Ale II

Notes:
Wanted to do an ale entirely with MO and a single hop. Whitbread not one i've used before, so thought i'd give it a go, basing it on a recipe for First Gold. Had to up the hops slightly from my first gold recipe, due to the slightly lower AA in WGV.

Sounds nice. I like single malt, single hop beers.

Sounds like a great way to test out the hop :D
