mutant (854) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - MAY 30, 2002

Yes, I bought it for the name but i’ve been a Pythonist for 30 years so give me a break. Nicely malty smell & grat orange body. Flavourful with a long hoppy aftertaste. Really good despite the gimmick.

Drew (2413) - Kent, Ohio, USA - MAY 28, 2002

This was a nicely balanced brew - very ’sessionable’. medium to thin body. somewhat malty, but with a nice hoppiness. I’d put it right between the Black Sheep ale and their Riggwelter

JPDIPSO (4956) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 27, 2002

A lighter paler version of Black Sheep ale. Just not much of anything, but not objectionable.

hembryggaren (45) - Örebro, SWEDEN - MAY 12, 2002

A malty ale with hopflavor on the end. Fits both to food or to drink in companjoships.

rauchbier (3395) - Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2002

Starts with subdued hop and malt, gets hoppier in the mouth but astringency develops into the dry bitter aftertaste. Black Sheep have turned on their grail shaped beacon to lure in unsuspecting drinkers.
