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.

Not at all impressed. Hate to give such a low rating but really, this one is not good. Watery and even a little skunky. Not sure why they would put this one out there. 8/08

Aroma of malts and hops and some skunkiness. Malty flavor with small hint of citrus fruits. Disappointing.

Amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of citrus, nuts and toast. Taste is slightly malty with some raisin and citrus.

Clear light amber, thin white head. Malty nose and taste. Very mild and fairly unremarkable. Meh.

Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a fairly large white head that sticks to the glass. Aroma is of oranges, grapefruit, bitterness. Tastes of oranges, bitterness, honey, biscuity malt, a nutty/bitter finish. Watery and missing a mid-palate. This beer is OK, but not the best ESB I’ve had

This beer poured a clear golden yellow color with about a one finger white head that dissipated to a thin film across the top. The aroma was of fruit and also a bit yeasty. The flavor was a bit fruity, and was balanced by the hops. This just seemed to be lacking something. Okay, but forgettable.
