The new kid on the block. Brewed to be the easy choice, Black Sheep Blonde guarantees unparalleled refreshment to the very last drop.
To achieve ultimate drinkability, we’ve built a light, bready malt base with the finest British malts, then layered up notes of zippy lemon, bitter grapefruit and sweet orange with bagloads of Celeia, Cascade and Amarillo. A full-flavoured beer where every sip tingles with crisp bitterness, keeping you coming back for more.
A breed apart.

Hand pulled pint at the Crown Inn, Oakengates; 27th September 2025. Clean and clear light golden body, snow white head. Citrus front to the aroma and taste, decent malty base, easy drinking with a grapefruit and lemon like finish.

Nice looking golden ale with a slight haze, a frothy / creamy white head and light biscuit malt and a touch of lemon on the nose. Semi-creamy mouthfeel, light biscuit malt to the fore with some floral notes and dry citrus bitterness in the finish.

Bottle from Asda. Clear golden body with no head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of straw and grass. Flavour of metal and lemon. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Tinny and not very nice. I threw out half of the bottle.

Half pint from the cask at the Three Legged Mare, York. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aromas & tastes of light fruits, berries, floral-honey, lemon peel, citrus, herbs & malt. Slightly sour light bitter finish. Enjoyable

Cask-conditioned at the Three Legged Mare, York 24/9.2024. Golden in colour and clear, with a tight, white, head. For a 3.7% beer, this had a pleasantly malty body, with some citrus hops, tangerine and apricot fruits, leading to a lingering, bitter, finish. A very good pale ale.

[Cask at the Forest Restaurant, York.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head; citrus aroma; sharp lemony taste with a pithy bitterness. Clean and tasty.
