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. Ok head. Ok red brown body. Not very exciting aroma, some fruit. Heavy nutty flavour with a tad of dried fruit. (dates/figs?) Much flavour in this one, but perhaps not the right flavour. (Porterhouse Dublin, 17.03.07)

Basic malty aroma. Orange color with a medium density large white head that quickly disappears. Malty start with a carbonation bitter finish.

Bottle: Pours golden, no head, nice lacing though. Hops dominates the aroma and flavor. Dry and bitter (but not overwhelmingly so), which is not my thing, but it isn’t awful, either. My friend S loved it, but he likes hoppy beers.

Bottle Yellow pour with minimal head and a bit of lacing. Citrus and hop aroma. Crisp mouthfeel with more citrus in the flavor. Pretty light and average.

Bottle at Winking Lizard - Pours amber with a slight haze and a short offwhite head with some lace. Aromas of caramel, toffee, and slight citrus. Flavor is caramel, toffee, slight citrus, and toasted malts. Medium body with light carbonation.

Aroma of floral/citrus hop. Light amber color with a white head that didn’t stay long. Starts with fruit; stone fruit; maybe some kiwi berry. Followed by malt, and getting balancing hop in at the finish. Finishes quite dry. Really complex interplay of components. Firm mouthfeel that hardly thins at all.

Nice, dark amber head. Aroma is pleasing. Flavor is another story. Very bitter with a strong alcohol taste.
