Black Sheep Monty Python Holy Grail (England)


www.blacksheepbrewery.com
Monty Python's Holy Grail
Black Sheep Brewery
4.7% ABV

Black Sheep developed this brew in 1999 to commemorate 30 years of Monty Python.  Because of it's success in the UK and with a limited run in the US market proving very successful the brewery increased production and exporting to the US became a permanent fixture.


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.

Marris Otter Malt is used in the brew along with buckets of specially grown hops.

Review

The beer pours with a clear golden liquid with a slight carbonation and a white head.  On the nose you have citrus and floral hop aromas.  The beer has a little warmth from the alcohol hints of the Marris Otter malt.   The beer has good bitterness.  The beer has a light to medium body.  

Not a bad drop but not mind blowing.
