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.

500ml. bottle from L.C.B.O. Ottawa. The color is a light amber with a beige head. The taste is a grainy sour mix. The aroma is not very noticeable. Hops are there but again not very noticeable.

Bottle 0,5l. Golden brown colored. A rapidly disappearing fluffy head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavor with hints of orange. Some bitterness in the finish. A bit one dimensional.

draft. Citrus grassy hops on the nose with fresh cut apples. Pours pale blonde with a white head that last some time. Sweet bready malts up front followed by an earthy bitterness, with a slight resin flavor in the finish. It finishes dry and crisp. A pretty good ESB all in all, good session beer.

Bottle... Poured copper, orange with a real thin white head that diminished immediately. Floral aroma with some spicy hops and buttery, malt grains. Leafy, herbal hops lend towards a warm malt balance. Alright flavor, would make a good session ale but it’s a little over priced for that.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma er mild caramel, a bit of fruitiness and good grassy and flowery hoppiness. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, some good peachy fruitiness and a mild chocolate and hoppy bitter finish. Quite alright.
