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.

I found this at World Market just outside of Green Bay. This was a great tasting ale. It had a nice hoppy nose to it and a nice bitter taste. I would buy this again anyday of the week, not to mention it’s named after a great movie.

Had this @ The Winking Lizard on Bethel while watching the Arizona Oregon game with my boys Spencer & Scott. Special thanks to Spencer for hooking me up with the sample for a rating. Nose of dried fruit, butterscotch, flowers and the smallest hint of alcohol. Pours a clover honey. The mostly lasting creamy white head leaves fair lace. The brew has a malty front, medium acidity in the middle, and a raisinish long bitter finish. The medium soft body is creamy with a dry feel to the finish. Very nice, I like! Hi - Five! Sorry you didn’t like it Spencer, I tried to warn ya!!

I am not sure why, but novelty beers tend to be some of the best creations ever made by brewing companies. This is no exception. The Aroma is slightly fruity, with a mellowness in the flavor and a crisp hoppy finish. A very good example of an English Bitter.

Lemony, fruity aroma. Flavour complex and balanced ranging from overripe apricots and a wide swathe of malt notes to a heartily bitter finish.
