Sorry to take this thread back in time.Unlike some I put my beer somewhere cool to condition, it takes a little longer but does become crystal and bright. While the bitter has been conditioning for some time the Nancy Naylor has had only 10 days of conditioning but will become clear, one of the previous batch.

Boston Bitter is a really pleasant bitter, full title Poes Boston Bitter after Edgar Alan Poe who died at age 40 of alcoholic poisoning, I did read somewhere that Mark Twain's favourite ale was Bass, though Poe's time line is slightly earlier he could have been drinking Bass IPA (which would have been fairly strong in his day) in preference to the pumpkin ales the colonials were making. A Bass clone is another I have conditioning at the moment.

As a student in the 70's Bass bitter (Red triangle on the handpump),
and the cask - NOT the keg - Worthington E bitter were both greatly enjoyable sessionable handpumped real ales, and entirely different.
For a golden, blessed while.
Each randomly found throughout Britain, experienced on many a YHA based pub crawl.
On a different named beer topic, cask Whitbread Trophy was hilarious as a National but regional brew.
All those smaller regional breweries under the Whitbread wing brewed one for the local trade. Each was a good IPA type beer, but entirely different from any other brewery in the country.
Whitbread Fremlins Faversham was my hoppy-forward favourite Trophy.
But then again, I am a true Man of Kent.
Trophy from Whitbread Tiverton was an entirely different malty beast, Flower's of Cheltenham elegance and balance.
Can't remember any others atm - anyone else care to chip in.
