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 picked up at metzlers in denton, tx. poured a clear gold with a thick white head. this beer looked awesome. the head stayed with it and it laced the glass all the way to the bottom. aroma was sweet with malt and fruity notes. flavor was malty, fruity, and had a nice dry bitterness to finish it off. wish the mouthfeel was a little heavier though. overall a nice beer i would drink again.

50cl bottle from ICA. It poured a slightly pale yellow colour with a big white creamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of hops, pears and a hint of citrus fruits. The flavour is bitter and tastes of malts, and citrus fruits. It has a medium long aftertaste. At first I thought this was just another gimmick beer, but I was pleasantly suprised by both the aroma and the flavour.

Draft @ Monster B’s. This beer kinda grossed me out. Thinly flavored but the palate felt slightly poisonous. I paid for it, so I finished it.

Bottle. Pours gold with an off white head. Wheaty aroma with cherry and lemongrass. The flavor is sweet and fruity, almost cherry. Nice.

Sampled at a beer tasting at Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord, N.H. I sampled what was described to me by the Distributor as the U.S. contracted recipe from High Falls Brewery in New York. It poured from a 12 fl. oz. bottle in a yellowish color. I noted a mild aroma of malts. Medium mouth feel. Slightly bitter but overall mild and not terribly bad.
