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.

Bitter and malty... good balance. Dark bronze/copper in color. Good beer... I have really become a fan of this style over time.

Very nice English bitter ale. The color is perfectly bronzy, and the head sticks around just long enough. Very flavorful.

On tap @ Ashley’s: Copper with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, pale malts and yeast. Flavor, yeasty, some spicy hops, and floral notes as well, pale malts. So so.

Pours a light amber colour. Aroma has hops and a bit of lemon. Taste was nicely bitter, but left somehow thin impression. Maybe I was expecting more from this beer. Label of the bottle is funny.

Bottle with an appearence of cloudy apple cider with a creamy head. Everything with this one was so-so. Not impressed.

Cool Monthy Python Bottle. Poured golden brown with a big puffy white head. Corny aroma. A nice dry bitter ale with a sharp crisp bitter after byte. Average overall. I’d drink it again if it was on sale.

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

Fountain of foam as I opened the bottle. Pours a mostly clear light brown head with a slightly tanned head. Lacings. Quite malty. Lots of caramel. Not so big hopsprofile. Medium bodied. High carbonation. Sour, bitter and slightly buttery finish. Not so good; nice bottle though.
