Sunshine in a glass, a citrus packed Blonde Ale.
Golden Sheep is a gloriously refreshing, beautifully balanced, golden cask ale, perfect thirst quencher!
Following the success of Golden Sheep in bottle form, which was originally brewed for the Tesco Finest range, plus the growing demand from for lighter golden beers, our brewers created the perfect response - Golden Sheep in cask.
Our brewers fine-tuned the original bottle recipe to make it lighter and hoppier, the result being a superbly quaffable golden ale. As you would expect, we make it using time honoured methods and ferment Golden Sheep in our traditional Yorkshire Square Vessels for a characteristically dry, refreshingly clean finish. Golden Sheep’s popularity ensured that it soon became the fourth permanent cask beer in our core range.

Hand pumped at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark blonde, fairly transparent, with limited gross foam. Aroma is weak citrus and cereal. Body is slightly thin with almost absent carbonation. Taste is moderate sweet, with decent bitterness to go with it. Final is average.

Golden colored, medium white head. Aroma is malt, biscuit, floral, hay grassy hops. Taste is low to medium sweet caramalt, biscuit, light fruity notes, some citrus, low+ floral and lemongrassy bitterness, dryish. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation. Compared to the standard Black Sheep, this one appeared lighter and less bitter but with more/fresh hop aroma.
