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: A light golden pour with a very thin sandy head. A dry, floral, and earthy aroma. Tastes sweet with light apple notes and a lager maltiness. Moves into an earthy and floral based tail. Sort of bland.

Not bad but fairly average. Medium bodied with moderate bitterness. Poured an amber colour with a thin beige head.

Some light yeasty fruitiness in the aroma. Caramel colored liquid, head was gone as quickly as it appeared. Some covered nuttiness in the flavor, mild spice and little hops as well. A small bit of bitter in the finish, hardly detectable. Palate is momentarily lively and gone in a second. This beer has about a seconds worth of flavor, if that could be expanded, it could do much better.

Golden-yellow pour with a whitehead. Skunky bread/yeast aroma. Light aroma of malts. Not too complex. Some bitterness at the finish.

It’s orange with a foamy head. Aroma is flowers and ginger, flavor is more of the same with malt. Does not taste strongly of witches or weigh more then a duck but does have more carbonation then I would like.

Smells like burnt witches. Tastes like burnt witches. Could use a little less burnt witch.

(bottle) Hazy, golden to amber colour with a medium-sized, off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet and yeasty cara-malt aroma with a slightly sweaty and fruity (overripe citrus) hoppy touch. Light-bitter flavour, slim bodied with a low carbonation. Moderately dry malt character, slightly chalky taste with delicate bitter and fruity hops, leading into a fairly dry and short finish. Disappointing or is it the great name that bears its burden (16.III.09).
