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.

Just be thrilled this beer doesn’t suck. I figured it would be the worst from the brewery (and perhaps it is) but it is great. You get a chuckle outta some people that see you pouring it.

Smells a bit like a budweiser... an american lager. Nice, thick, creamy head that really sticks around. Super bitter. I like bitter, but this is orange-rind bitter. I is difficult to swallow. I really do not like this beer.

Bottle. Amber, like tea, with a small head. Aromas are tea, apple and toffee malts. Fairly dry. Flavours are toffee malts with dry tea and pear. Dry and clean on the finish. OK, if a bit boring.

Bottled. Golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is dominated by a fruity unpleasant pine-apple smell. Maybe it is because it is just one week before BB-date? I have tasted this before, but can’t remember the profile of it, so I guess I’ll have to put it on my re-rate list. Ok flavor of fruits, mostly pine-apple, and pines. Resin-bitter and light fruity finish. (060124)

A decent beer. Malt tastes won out over the hops. Goldish color, fruity nose. Finishes clean.

30 Sep 05 - Light malt and hoppy aroma. Clear amber brown colour, good yellow head with suds lacing. Nice pleasant hoppy malt flavour. Light bitter hop dry finish, but is a bit thin.

Bitter with a good head. Easy to drink, fruity aroma. Pricey for what you get.

Beautiful clear amber color with fine head. Taste like a very bitter pilsner.
