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.

very light copper brown pour with little to no head, nice aroma of fruity hops and pepper and a nice strongly bittered malty blended flavor. Nice average beer that is so good at being average that it is above average - does this make sense?

(Bottle) Pours a light amber with a small, but long-lived head. Not as bitter as I expected, and especially not bitter enough to be an ESB. Sweet malty notes with some hops in the aftertaste. Drinkable, clean and refreshing.

Basic malty aroma. Orange color with a medium density large white head that quickly disappears. Malty start with a carbonation bitter finish.

500 ml bottle - pours a nice clear auburn with a foamy off-white head. Aroma fairly faint with some brown sugar, apples and a subtle hop presence. Flavour is where this one scores - though the body is slightly watery, there is a nice spiciness and a good hop backbone. Also, a minerally quality. Nice. There is enough malt and a faint smokiness that wraps up the package nicely. Not outstanding, but would be an excellent session brew.

1pint 0.9oz. bottle pours a dark amber orange head, with a good light tan head. Overall it was a descent beer for the price, but I wish it was a little stronger.

Pours a nice golden color into the glass with minimal lacing. Has a very sweet aroma with hints of honey. The taste is much the same with light fruity hops and honey on the palate. Though I’m no expert on english ales, I found this very enjoyable and worth a try.
