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 beer was kind of plain. I would not refer to it as a holy ale, because I would not risk my life for this one.

Funny bottle. nice hops, there’snever too much though. I wouldn’t say it’s a bitter, more like a typical english ale with a bit more hops.

Pale black and tan, iced tea with a big yellowish-orange foam. Smells Sour. Taste bitter, like champagne. Disgusting.

Pours clear amber with a big head that dissipates quickly. Excellent lacing. Very bitter aroma, you can smell from far away. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor has a good a mount of malt and hops, but too much bitterness, and I like ESBs. Finishes light and clean. This one is over the top.

very light copper brown pour with little to no head, nice aroma of fruity hops and pepper and a nice strongly bittered malty blended flavor. Nice average beer that is so good at being average that it is above average - does this make sense?

Copper-brown beer with medium white head. Aroma is quite fresh: malts and some fruitfull hops. Flavour is strongly bitter and there are found malts and fruits. Carbonation is balanced and this is easy to drink but not watery. Monty Python’s Holy Grail is interesting and nice bitter.
