Using S04 will taste different from WYeast 1469 but I think they'll still both taste great

I don't actually like Bitter, so I won't be doing this...I'll just make a batch for him and he can live with it.

I was thinking about using Mangrove Jack M07-British Ale...

I've recently brewed this beer using S04 and its gone down very well with anyone who's tried it.
It's a bright beer and quite malty. I actually dry hopped with 20g First Gold to try to increase the hop profile. Not sure this actually added anything, difficult to know having not tried it without, maybe increased the perceived bitterness a little as it's fairly bitter.
If I was to brew it again I would reduce my priming sugar a little as I do find it a bit gassy. I think I added around 4g sugar per litre as I thought Greg Hughes' recommended 2.5g per litre for a bitter seemed a bit low.

I'm surprised at that. I'm not keen on fizzy beer and carb my beers to 5g/L and my mini kegs at 4g/L

Yes I normally go for 5g/L in IPAs and pale ales which is why I thought 2.5g/L seemed a bit low, but this one seems to make me feel a bit blown up.
