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.

Bottle sampled. Pours a hazy orange/golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and citrusy hops. The flavor is caramel malts, slight fruit, and a citrusy bitter finish.

Bottle; Nose is fruity (plum-grapy) with some caramel malt; crystal clear copper with a decent straw colored head; Flavor is caramel, light fruit, and a small hop finish. would be a decent session brew or lawm mowing brew, not too haevy but with some complexity.

Bottle can’t remember where I picked this up as it’s been kicking about for some time. Pours a golden colour with a large white head. Aroma was sweet and malty, taste was more of the same with some hoppiness.

Pours a nice golden color into the glass with minimal lacing. Has a very sweet aroma with hints of honey. The taste is much the same with light fruity hops and honey on the palate. Though I’m no expert on english ales, I found this very enjoyable and worth a try.

Pours a beautiful deep golden/reddish-brown color, with a medium sized very creamy slightly off white head. Smell is grassy or hoppy and very fresh smelling. Medium to low carbonation. Taste is hoppy but pleasant. All in all a pretty good beer, really.

Pours with a large head, quickly shrinking yet stays to the end, a very light grassy/hop aroma with a golden body, tasted quite average but was refreshing to boot..

copper color, high carbonation, dull white head that dissipates quickly, moderate lacing, acerbic and dry mouthfeel, light to medium body, yeast and sweet aroma, pretty plain and uninteresting, right about average

Aroma is malt. Some caramel and some fruit. Pours orange amber. Flavor is caramel malt, sweet fruitiness, pasteurization, and delicate hoppiness. Finishes a little dry on the palate. Can tell there are hops in there.
