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.

Cask @ Six Bells, Cambridge. Perfect gold. Aroma is buttery, and unfortunately slightly possety. Full sweet taste with bitter around the edges. A reasonable golden from our reliable friends in the North.

Apple cider vinegar malt aroma. Clear golden yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet lemon and apple cider vinegar malt flavor. Decent body - very unusual - never had an English beer this tart. Actually approaches the sourness of a Belgian sour.

2nd May 2010. On tap at pub somewhere in Essex! Gold beer with a light haze. Light semi dry palate. Fresh and fruity. Zesty orange with a trace of tea. A litte grapefruit on the back of the tongue. Not bad at all. Refreshing and very drinkable.

(Cask at City Arms, Manchester, 22 July 2009) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with citrus, apricots, biscuits and dusty hops. Fruity taste with notes of orange, apricots and citrussy hops in the finish. Rather light body, some malt sweetness lingers throughout. Refreshing and tasty.

Lord Crewe Hotel, Blanchland, Co Durham. Supped in the Crypt bar, this was actually better than anticipated. A nice looking gold colour with a medium white head. Some malt and hop evident in the aroma which was fairly restrained. Solid malt backbone to the flavour which was clean and fresh and had some nice citrus notes leading to a dry slightly bitter finish.
