SEYMOUR FUZZY DUCK PHEASANT PLUCKER CLONE
This is a best-guess, based on everything I've managed to dig up, which isn't much. I don't guarantee a perfect clone this time, but I bet you'll get very close, and you can tweak to taste the next time around. Clear golden amber colour, rich malt sweetness with a touch of caramel, citrusy flavours from early English hops and late Cascade hops with mildly fruity English ale esters.
6 US gallons = 5 Imperial Gallons = 22.7 Litres

95% = 8.45 lb = 3.83 kg, Maris Otter Pale Malt
5% = .45 lb = 204 g, Crystal Malt

BOIL 60-90 minutes, add a pinch of gypsum to make the hops pop, drop Irish Moss at 15 min remaining.
HOPS:
