Basically I walked in to the beer store and told the guy the last 2 beers that I bought and liked and asked him what I should get next. He pointed out a few and I picked this one.
Appearance: Basic yellow ale. Little foam with a bit more lacing. Decently carbonated. Holy Grail Ale looks like your average light ale or lager.
Smell: Biscuit malt and some faint citrus hops.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Tastes just like the smell. Tastes like bread. Pretty clean and dry finish, a lot of soda water.
Drinkability: Hits all the standard beer points so I can drink this.
Overall: The guy at the beer store told me it was like Newcastle. Newcastle is a bit smoother. I won't have a problem finishing the case, but it won't be something I'll buy again.
Serving type: bottle
