Another fine addition to the Black Sheep flock of premium bottle ales. This ale was specially commissioned to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python in 1999.
Ten years later on the 40th anniversary Holy Grail is still going strong. With more hops than a killer rabbit, it's a full-flavoured golden ale with a distinctively fruity flavour followed by the Black Sheep signature dry finish.
We brew Holy Grail with Maris Otter malt, an old and expensive variety that is renowned for the taste and the quality of the beer it produces.
A mixture of old English Hop varieties including a touch of WGV hops gives Holy Grail its lovely fruity nose.
We use a touch of wheat which helps deliver the lovely creamy head and lacing down the glass - just what you would expect from a proper Yorkshire beer!

Old rating. Bottle pour. Light copper with 2 fingers of foam that dissipates. Light bready malt aromas with some faint musty citrus. Light body and clean on the palate. Some cardboard and tired malt flavors. Light bitterness on the finish. Decent enough.

Gravity cask at the Land Rover Beer Festival 2016. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a round bubbly white head. The aroma is light toffee, resin, floral hop. The flavour is light to medium bitter with a smooth big bready biscuit malt, fruit, light hop bitter palate. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle, 0.5l. Slightly cloudy copper pour with small and short lasting bubbly white head. Typical smell for the style, malts, grass, licorice. Medium body with watery texture, heavily carbonated. Moderately bitter taste with slightly fruity mouthfeel. Aroma of malts, caramel, grains, grass, hay, licorice, cardboard and alcohol. Slightly peppery on the tongue. Lasting finish, dry and moderately bitter. Overall, nothing exceptional but decent nonetheless.

Oranssinruskea olut kohtalaisen runsaalla valkoisella vaahdolla, joka jättää kivasti pitsiä. Toffeemainen, makea tuoksu on varsin houkutteleva. Siihen nähden maku ei ihan yllä samalle tasolle. Maussa makeaa toffeisuutta, hedelmää ja humalaa. Suutuntuma kuitenkin turhan vetinen ja bittermäinen puraisu loistaa poissaolollaan. Hyvä maitokauppatuote, mutta samalla hinnalla (n.5€) saa jo paljon parempaakin.
