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.

pours an amber-yellow with medium white head. Unimpressive. Not as hoppy as others have described, at least not as I experienced it. At least the bottle will lok cool in my collection.

I really was not impressed with this ESB. Flavors were bitter and had a sour bit of hops. Poured light and was lacking strength and character.

Amber coloured beer pours with quite big, big bubbly, white head and forms a nice lacing. Aroma is a bit toffee malty. Flavor is sweety toffee malty and a bit butter in it with a little metallic aftertaste.
