Golden Sheep Ale
A golden ale hopped with a single variety, WGV, on a sturdy backbone of pale ale malt. Orange zest and floral hops on the nose; zesty citrus and a hint of bitter orange peel on the palate, with a light, spritzy feel and a dry, refreshing finish. It joined the range more than twenty years ago as a light, hoppy addition and belongs to the brewery's bottled line-up. Balanced and easy to drink at 4.5 %. Bronze at the World Beer Awards 2024.
