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 brown with a moderate white head. Palate is thinnish with a bit of a hoppy, caramel, and honey flavor. Not much of an aroma.

Just a beer. Nothing all that noteworthy as far as I was concerned. Soft taste with a watery palate and uneventful finish. I was expecting more.

Shouldn’t this be called Holy Ail? Anyway not worth the fussy label gimmick. Bland like water down hops, with uninteresting head and lace. Boring.

Bottle -- Light golden amber with light visible carbonation and a large sudsy white head with some retention and some lacing. Fairly straightforward and gentle aroma of grassy hops and malt. Quie a lot of carbonation in the palate. The flavour reflects the aroma and is also quite mild with a fairly thin bitter finish. A nice enough drop but my nipples hardly exploded with delight.

Blah. There is nothing here at all besides some lightly sweet malt and a slighly bitter finish. The palate is too thin to support any flavour, not that there are flavours here to be supported. Smells and looks like a premium lager, and tastes a bit like one too. The best part about this beer is the head, which fades to a pretty decent white cap, and the bottle it came in. Uhhg, this is gross.

Pours an amberish colour. Have to agree the aroma was alittle scary but the flavour wasnt all that bad. Alittle sweet for my liking and kind of boring but drinkable.
