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.

pint bottle- poured out a dark gold color with a minimal and short lived white head. The aroma had a hint of pumpkin. Taste was unremarkable in all respects. Had a less than pleasant bitter finish. A loser.

0,5l bottle .White thick head, brown copper color, really hard to distinct anything particular on the smell, quite neutral. Taste is gently bitter but abit bland, propably drinking this abit too cold. Overall not bad but there’s lots of better choices for similar experience.

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.

Bottle. Pours a copper colour with a white head. Aroma is thin and boring with some malt. Flavour is boring - and watery - with some malty caramel and some boring bitterness. Some sweetness in the finish. Once again...boring.
