What recipe do you consider a "classic" English bitter?

Woah, dude! I didn't know about the souvenir mug! Very cool. We're gonna need to see a pic now.

I really like my very hoppy IPA's.

However, I also enjoy a more traditional bitter.

Had a very successful Landlord clone and made a very good kit from the Fulstow Brewery.

So I thinking of trying a few recipes on a simple pale/crystal base, perhaps a bit of wheat and then some English hops, EKG, Brambling Cross, Fuggles and the like.

Any suggestions or opinions on this?

Thought I'd better get this thread back on topic

My next AG is going to be an ordinary bitter -

25L @ 1.036 OG

93.0% Maris Otter Malt 5.0 EBC
5.0% Crystal Malt 150 EBC
2.0% Amber Malt 100 EBC

Challenger @60mins
First Gold (1g/L) @10mins
UK Cascade (0.5g/L) @0mins

30 EBU

Ferment with WLP002

I haven't brewed an ordinary bitter since AG#4, which was a bit crap to be honest, so hopefully the above will prove to be quaffable.

8% Torrified Wheat
1% Chocolate

Boil Hops: Challenger

WLP022 was the yeast.
