Commercial Description:
Bottled - pasteurised.
Another fine addition to the Black Sheep Brewery range of premium bottled ales, our Holy Grail Bitter was specially commissioned to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python. It has a distinctive taste with plenty of fruity hops, and is full flavoured with a dry and refreshing bitterness.

Pours a clear amber with a lasting white head, some light lacing. Aroma of sweet, bready malt and little else. Flavor is sweet and mild. Mouthfeel was dense at first, with a dry finish, then became sugary. Very drinkable, but not that great.

Bottle. Pours medium amber with a half finger fizzy off white head. The nose is malt and floral hops. The taste is malt, grain and light bitter hops in the finish. Medium, fairly flat mouthfeel. Not that great.

Bottle. Poured a dark yellow color with a decent white head. Aroma was mostly yeast and bread. Flavor was kind of sweet and caramel. Decent beer. Not worth the price.

Aroma is yeast, white bread, hops, slight citrus/floral aroma. Kinda empty but has nice notes. Appearance is a darker golden with a frothy white head that disappears quickly. Lots of carbonation when poured but fades out fast. Very nice color in my opinion. Flavor is pretty watery but does have a nice malt with some sweetness present. Floral notes accompanied by a tingly bite at the end makes it fill out nicely. Overall, I enjoyed this one. It doesn’t necessarily have the depth or the "it" factor but decent drink nonetheless.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a tasting glass. The color is a clear gold with a slight white head. The smell is some what fruity with small hop flavor and some yeast. The taste is a bit bassic ale, not too much of a hop flavor, not too bitter, some yeast flavor. The feel of this beer is a little less of a bitterness than expected. Refreshing and crisp it does have nice drinkability and can be quite refreshing.

Amber pour, big frothy head. Floral, dry aroma. Fizzy, bitter, woody flavor with some slight floral hints. A little pine in there too. A light on carbonation, somewhat overrated.
