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.

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.

Light hazy tan, bubbly head. Light body, generally refreshing but perhaps too much caramel and not enough hop. Disappointing, from a brewery whose products I normally enjoy.
