A refreshing ale particularly suited to summer drinking.
3.9% ABV
Golden Sheep
We tweaked the original recipe to make it lighter and more of a blonde beer. We brew it using me honoured methods and ferment it in our traditional Yorkshire Square Vessels to give it our characteristically dry and refreshingly clean finish.
Aroma
Explosive citrus-fruit against hoppy background.
Taste
Characteristic Black Sheep dry palate with marked grapefruit-hop and very long refreshing finish
Golden Sheep is a beautifully balanced blonde beer that develops with zesty flavours and finishes with a clean and wickedly moreish finish.
Food and Beer Pairing
The citrusy flavours of the First Gold hops, lemon and grapefruit lend a delicate zing that sits beautifully with lighter foods such as fish and other seafood.
Ingredients
We use Maris Otter malt for all our beers. It’s an old and very expensive variety that’s distinguished for its taste and quality.
A mixture of old English hop varieties with masses of First Gold hop gives Golden Sheep its citrusy characteristics and light nose. We then balance the flavour with plenty of Challenger hops.
Awards
We only started brewing Golden Sheep Cask Ale in 2009, so watch this space!
