Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Brewed by Black Sheep
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Ripon, England

Pours a medium amber with a big head that is quickly gone. Aromas of caramel and roasted nuttiness, also some yeast detected. Flavor was not so great. Seemed overly bitter, for a beer with this light of a palate. I tried it for the name, but probably wouldn’t drink it again.

Thanks Tikie, looked cool and turned out to be not so cool. Decent head and grainy taste. Little bit of citrus and grass taste. not bad, not again

Really wanted to try it because of the name and the love for Monty Python, but a little let down on this beer. Not that bad, but could have been better...a little less fruiter would have been better!

Bright copper color, with a frothy white head, wet pale malt nose with a fruity note of subtle citrusy, with a mild flowery hop accent in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a zesty, fruity, wet grainy toasty malt character, with a nice floral hop citrusy accent, with a hint of leafiness and pineyness, leading towards a citrusy, limey, hop leafy bitterring finish.

Dark gold,head not lasting but leaves good lacing,aroma very hoppy,bread notes,floral,good hop flavour and bitter at first.Grapefruit flavour is noticeable at finish along with a sweet dry taste,good session beer,plus fish and chips.

The aroma is interesting... hard to define. What is it? Pear? The color is a slightly cloudy gold. The hops has something interesting to it, unusual... but it’s a bit too watery and needs more development.

Bottle. Pours a thin amber with a light frothy head. Aroma is a little mix of, I cant think what it is, a little like an amber, Killians or something like that and mixed John Cleese’s farts. Now that you mention, that’s what it tastes like too. But seriously, the taste is sharp ESB taste, but the aftertaste is awful and metallic. Reminds me of Boddingtons.

if you want to drink esb, go buy the rogue brutal bitter. its even easier to find that this and much much better.
