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.

bottle @ Allen Street Hardware, Buffalo. Very average if not below beer, Very litle bitterness. Pours a light copper color. Flavor is lacking with some bitterness & medicinal qualities. Movie was much better as was Spamalot

Bottle.Yellow and clear with some bitterness. No carbonation and slightly bitter.Medium body. I am always aware of novelty beers.Perhaps if it had been labelled something else I would have scored it higher.

This is a very bitter ale, goes very good with corned beef or pastrami. Not my favorite beer in the world but definetely worth a try

This is not a very good beer. It is disappointing and the-final-rip-off-ish. It is a novelty item and one that should only be tried once. Still better than some cheaper beers, but still, too bitter, bland, and boring. Too expensive, too.
