Was looking for a relatively low-key version of an English style ale to bring out the characteristics of some Red Earth hops I had grown last season
I discovered Smurto's Landlord and I am a big fan of his Golden Ale (and to my taste I've just about perfected it
) ... it;s now a staple in my cupboard ... thanks Smurto
Now red Earth is a hops bred up down south here in the west at Albany from Goldings and Columbus and I grew it for the first time last year ... have a look on the hops forums if you're interested in some more info
So Red Earth Landlord... sorry I'm lazy I pasted my version straight out of brewers friend
the OG and FG were pretty much spot on and I use a braumiser (damn, I need to do a post on the final version of that too ...I have been slack)

This turned out a nice everyday drinking beer and keeps a lot of the non-craft beer drinkers happy. A little low on taste for my liking and I will be upping the aroma hops and flavour hops and prob a smidge of crystal in my next attempt as It is more like an Australian pale than an English at the moment
