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.

purchased at puget sound wine cellar in port orchard, washington. pours clear light copper-orangish with a medium size foamy egg-shell head, the head does not stay around that long. smell of wine, some hops, earthiness. taste is also wine-like, a little bit hoppy, leaves the mouth dry. overall its okay, but nothing to write home about.

Bottle. Poured with a three finger high head, body a thin copper color, has a slight hoppy bite to it. I’m surprised how low this beer is rated for how good it is.

Had this @ The Winking Lizard on Bethel while watching the Arizona Oregon game with my boys Spencer & Scott. Special thanks to Spencer for hooking me up with the sample for a rating. Nose of dried fruit, butterscotch, flowers and the smallest hint of alcohol. Pours a clover honey. The mostly lasting creamy white head leaves fair lace. The brew has a malty front, medium acidity in the middle, and a raisinish long bitter finish. The medium soft body is creamy with a dry feel to the finish. Very nice, I like! Hi - Five! Sorry you didn’t like it Spencer, I tried to warn ya!!

A mild and light beer. Didn’t expect too much and I got what was expected. A very mild hop flavor.

Pours cooper with thick off-white head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, with faint caramel malt. Taste is also grassy hops and medium dark malt. Moderate sweetness, but dry finish. Burning witches not detectable.

Pours golden with long-lasting foamy head. Yeasty aroma. Flavor profile more skewed than the Ministry of Funny Walks, with possible notes of Dead Parrot.

Amber colored beer with a lightly hoppy aroma. Rather soft caramel malts, mildly bitter. Rather sweet and syrupy, but not bad.

Amber chestnut in colour with a hoppy, grassy aroma with a hint of freshly brewed tea. Fairly hoppy taste with light maltiness and some citrus tones. Pleasant aftertaste. Not bad at all.
