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.

Cloudy amber with a thick creamy head. Nice fruity aroma with a touch of anise, but it didn’t really transfer to tasting where it was full of peppery spice. Some shallow bitterness in the flavour that seemed a bit out of balance. It’s a reasonable beer, but nothing of note. If it was a sword it would barely inflict a flesh wound.

This is a decent English Pale Ale that is good easy drinking but far from exciting. It is a very clever label on a cool uniquely shaped bottle. Certainly presentation and marketing are part of selling beer and they score points in that department. BTW: Terry Gilliam rocks! Appearance: Pours a light golden grail colored ail (ale) =) Smell: Not much here but a hint pale malts and musty English hops. Taste: Pale malts and gently English hops make this a straight forward quaffable ale that is simple and easy drinking. Mouthfeel: Light and crisp Drinkability: Easy drinking beer made more for drinking than for thinking. Very sessionable. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber/red color. Light scent of malt. Drinks clean with a crisp finish. Very nice for a bitter.

Brownish red color. Nose of malt and some citrus. A bit hoppy with a clean, dry malt flavor. Nice finish.

Nice aroma of malts and fruits. Very nice a drinkable beer, due to smooth/crisp feel when drinking. It did leave a nice bitter taste, that left me wanting more. I will drink this beer again.

Aroma is malty, and hints of fruit. Flavor is low malts, faint fruits. bitter, but not overly so. Nothing to get excited about here. Just another english bitter. It was a kick ass movie though.
