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.

Amber color in the glass. Somewhat fruity aroma. Light, a little metallic. Pretty average. Nothing too bad, nothing too amazing either.

Clear gold/copper pour with white head. Mostly malt, caramel, a bit of biscuits, citrus, and a small amount of hops. Pretty standard beer, not very interesting.

courtesy of Allen - slightly hazy dark blond colour with a little and persistent white foam; superb lacing; aroma of caramel and herbs; soft mouthfeel, moderate malt body, late and fair bitterness; dry herbal and slightly honeyish aftertaste - easy and pleasant

Poured from bottle into Imperial Pint. Light clear copper with nice initial head, but quickly subsided to a very thin layer. Aroma of bready malts and strong fruitiness. Bready malts, some tea-like character and very light bitterness. Despite the flat look, it seems overly fizzy. Also, a little thin. Easy to drink EPA, but nothing out of the ordinary. Would love to have this at a pub in England, instead of bottled at home.

bottle, pours deep gold with a medium white head. Aroma is toasted malt, some creamy sugar. A watery mess of pale malts and little hops.

Pours a light copper with a small white head. Aroma of malts with some hops also. Flavor is pretty fruity with some malts and hops too. This is a very easy beer to drink, but not a great beer.
