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 golden color. Bitter flavor. Made my wifes’ face go all funny. Hard to describe. Fruity. with some mild hops. Leaves an almost metallic dry feel in mouth.

Bottle. Golden orange with a large fluffy head: grassy aroma with some butter. Nice carbonation. The flavour is a bit light, with a hint of raisin at the start leading to some grass and a light bitterness in the finish. Bring out your dead.

This ESB is no joke as the lable might lead you to think. Very easy to drink and it goes down fast and smooth. Nice bread light friut, malt and a bit of hop.

Pours slight cloudy amber/orange with a pillowy off white head. Spiced aroma, typical of a nice English ale. Quite fruity, and bready. Taste is bitter, bready malt, a spicy hop and caramel. A nice English Ale.

Dark golden to light copper in color. Clean aroma. Decent enough - fairly hoppy, but with an off flavor I can’t quite describe.

On tap at local sportsbar. This didnt seem at all like and ESB but was pretty yummy stuff. Not very exciting but had a nice tartish finish that was unique. Pretty solid and refreshing. I will have this one again.

Pours a medium orange with about a finger of white head. Smell of straw, and kinda reminds me of mediocre pale lagers. It actually smells a little like heineken. I can get a hint of the ESB in the taste, but it could be crisper. There’s a bit of a sticky-sweet aftertaste that is a bit of a put off. It’s okay, I guess. I guess it works as a session beer.
