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.

500 ml bottle. Good carbonation. Brown-red color. Bitter taste. Nice but a bit disapointed for a bitter. Leaves you with the bitter after taste. Medium-dry.

My personal favorite English ale. Nice caramel flavor. Foamy, slightly creamy head.

Hazy dark amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with a slightly metalic aftertaste.

Hazy red-gold body, light white head. Caramelly malt aroma, maybe a touch of molasses. Light palate but rich malts flavour with toastiness at the end.

Poured an amber brew with a profuse creamy head. Smelled like corn and water. A lot of alcohol in the taste. Overall kind of gross.

Bottle. Light fruity hoppy aroma. Pours clear golden with an off-white head. Taste is mildly bitter, not really any hops or fruitiness, but the aftertaste does turn pleasantly doughy. Thin body. Pretty much your standard bitter.

Totally average beer. I don’t remember much since I didn’t take notes, but I remember being unimpressed. Sweet and boring. Will not drink again.

A nice drink, I cant think of anything bad to say about it, but on the other hand I cant think of anything good to say about it. It doesnt stand out to me through the countless amounts of other ales, but that doesnt change the fact its a nice tasting beer.
