Moorhouse's Old Boss 4.3%

Me too - not noticeably very bitter, but a really nice hoppiness.

elsewhere

• Primary Hop – Brewers Gold
• Primary Malt –Maris Otter Moorhouse’s have brewed a special ale inspired by a hop bitter recipe dating back to the 1800’s. The brew was an award winning ale brewed with a hop variety not used by Moorhouse’s for many years. The clip is based on the original bottle label and boasts two awards dating back two centuries."

I can't say Dave, but I'll be they made the "Stone Jugs".
