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.

Personally never took note of the name, but more the history of the brewer. This beer is, to me, a good example of an English Bitter as they stand today!!! It pours, from the bottle, a hazy orange-amber with a short soapy white head that leaves a little lace. Subtle sweet ’candy’ nose, toffee and toasted malt and a lot of citrus fruits. Quite sweet in the mouth, medium light in body and carbonation, it seems quite malty with toffee and caramel, floral hops, salt? and a lightly bitter back. Finishes malty and sweet with reasonable length. Not a bad brew at all, easily swigged one after the other.

Holy Grail has a light fruity aroma. The color is a deep red bordering on brown. The head is a dirty white and long lasting. Monty Python has a mild flavor with some bitterness and an average aftertaste.

purchased at puget sound wine cellar in port orchard, washington. pours clear light copper-orangish with a medium size foamy egg-shell head, the head does not stay around that long. smell of wine, some hops, earthiness. taste is also wine-like, a little bit hoppy, leaves the mouth dry. overall its okay, but nothing to write home about.

[bottle from brewery] Pours quite an attractive light orange/yellow colour. Nose is citric wth some peachy notes as well. Body is a bit fizzy.

FRUITY AND LIGHTLY HOPPED TASTE THAT INCLUDES A RECESSED MALT PROFILE. UNDERWHELMING BREW THAT IS WATERY AND YET NOT PARTICULARLY REFRESHING, AS IT IS TOO SWEET YET DRY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS PLEASANT LOOKING GOLDEN BREW IS A MISH MASH COMBINATION THAT HAS NOT QUITE WORKED OUT. DECENT MOUTHFEEL DOES NOT SAY CREAMY...PERHAPS, SLICK IN SOME SORT OF WAY. LIGHT BITTER FINISH IS DECENT.
