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.

This is an ESB? Could’ve fooled me. Way to sweet. Weak body too. One and done. Gross.

A great beer name, not a great beer. What a complete and total blasphemy against the great name of Python.

Slight clear golden body bordering on orange with a thin cover of white head. Simple golden ale aroma, malty, and hints of hay and grassy hops. Taste is thin, slightly funky, pale malt, sweet but dry and a good hop bite.

Wow... the first thing I notice is an absolutely beautiful roasted coffee aroma. I almost feel like I walked into a Starbucks. A slightly cloudy honey in color. Clean tasting with a touch of sweet malt and a hoppy herbal bitterness as it lingers in the mouth. I totally thought this was going to be worse than it was (gimmicky as espenra said) but it was really nice and easy drinking with definite complexity in the aroma and taste. I will purchase this again...

Bouteille de 500 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur orangée et une mousse blanche modeste. Au nez on respire des arômes de beurre de caramel et de houblon. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de caramel et de houblon un peu amer.

bottle picked up at metzlers in denton, tx. poured a clear gold with a thick white head. this beer looked awesome. the head stayed with it and it laced the glass all the way to the bottom. aroma was sweet with malt and fruity notes. flavor was malty, fruity, and had a nice dry bitterness to finish it off. wish the mouthfeel was a little heavier though. overall a nice beer i would drink again.
