Brains SA or Brains Gold anyone?

The canned version of SA has only just become available in Australia - imported by a small firm in South Brisbane so I got it fairly fresh and it was divine. However I developed my Beer Gland on SA in Cardiff and would love to attempt a draught version.

The Real Ale Almanac (5th edition) says:
OG1042 ABV 4.2%
Pale and Crystal malts, invert and glucose sugars
Fuggles and Goldings whole hops
Their web site adds Challenger

There is a recipe in this thread (for SA Gold?):
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20133

For SA, I would start with 90% PM, 5.5% xtal, 4.5% sugar
Challenger 25gms 90, Fuggles and Goldings 20gms ea, 10 mins (25L)
This would be a fairly general purpose average bitter.
