Best Feature: great packaging

Monty Python's Holy Grail is a great beer with a great name. Available at most liquor stores in the Lower Mainland this beer is available in a unique 500 ml bottle with a unique label. Don't be intimidated by the brand name, this English Ale is smooth and a lot lighter in colour and taste than traditional English Ales. A combination of a great bottle, a nice pour, a fruity aroma, and a smooth clean finish make this beer a great choice. Definitely a beer I would recommend for a special event or a beer tasting party. This beer is a conversation piece! Try matching this beer with a hearty meal, the flavour of this beer will be something you will remember!

Beer Fact: Monty Python's Holy Grail was brewed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Monty Python's Holy Grail (the movie). Black Sheep Brewery was the brewery of the year in the United Kingdom in 2005!

Best Feature: lingering head

This Holy Ale was brewed in England by the Black Sheep Brewery and has an alcohol content of 4.7%.  The colouration of this beer was a very enticing golden honey colour and the nose was a distinct hoppy aroma with overtones of fruitiness.  The head was tight and a bit on the light side but it lingered which I always enjoy.  I found the mouthfeel and body of this beer to be light and the taste was crisp with a touch of hoppy bitterness.  The aftertaste was very pleasant and was not overpowering.  Overall not a bad beer, I could probably down a pint or 3.
