Pendle witche's brew probably, not too bad but not my favourite. You also might be thinking of wychwood, which is fairly poor but cheap for a real ale. I think they do a few different ones. I agree on the pedigree, it's good stuff. Old speckled hen too, forgot that, though it's a bit rich and dark for my tastes.
If you like deuchars you really need to try golden promise. It's also made by caledonian, but it's organic (i.e. no nasty additives or shit on the crops, less hangover potential and doesn't give you a headache like synthetic crap like fosters), light and very palatable golden ale, but smoother than most, well worth tracking down. My local morrisons does 4 bottles for £5 on real ales and golden promise is just about all i drink now, though sometimes i try a new one or an old favourite (black sheep or taylors sometimes).
