patricks110 (275), Alberta, Canada Nov 20, 2008 A good beer. As a bitter, it is pretty good. I would rather drink Fullers, but this is comparable. This beer also gushied out of the bottle upon opening. Pour s orangey yellow body and a thin wite head. malty and hoppy aroma. outhfeel is complex and uniquely peasing. Overall, a great beer. after all, it is Monty Pythons Holy Ail. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Nov 19, 2008 Appearance: Gusher upon popping the cap, leave it to a beer named after Monty Python to play a joke on me. Pours a clear, orange-gold body with a tall, though short-lived, white head.
Smell: Vaguely malty, fruity, but there’s a strong stink in here, some plasticy, chemical-like odor present and oh I find it displeasing.
Taste: Pale malts with a treacle sweetness and a kick of palate-ruining lacquer. Slight spicy bitterness, but at this point you’re just trying to get that taste out of your mouth. Peculiar, downright icky aftertaste that sends the drinker in search of a tall glass of water. In fact, BRB!
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation after the initial gushing.
Drinkability: Not recommended. Save yourself the drain pour and dodge this one, folks. terrybail (330), London, Ontario, Canada Nov 3, 2008 500ml bottle from some watery tart
Was probably brought here by a swallow not sure if it was African or European
Smells of elderberries and a touch of shrubbery and slight herring aftertaste
It looks like it could cut down the tallest tree in the forest
Overall pretty damn good of course i really wanted to give it a 5
JohnBarleycorn (390), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 3, 2008 Bottle. Amber beverage. Aromas of wet cardboard, wet gravel, oregano. Fruit flavour is cut with fresh-cut wood, white pepper, orange zest and malt. Hot, peppery finish with some bitterness. A weird mix of things going on. JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland Nov 2, 2008 A 0.5L bottle from K-market. Pale head large bubbles. Pale copper brown colour. Grassy nose. Start taste soft. Roasted malts in the tatse. At the end hops bite. tlind2 (560), Helsinki, Finland Oct 30, 2008 500 ml bottle. Amber color, off-white head. Malty aroma. Slightly metallic, bitter flavor, malty finish. Light body, sharp mouthfeel. Can’t really dig this beer no matter how great Monty Python is. sward84 (24), Burke, Virginia, USA Oct 30, 2008 I was really disappointed in this one. I saw this bottle at the store and knew I had to get it. It had a beautiful goden brown color....but a very weak smell and a very weak flavor....felt like I was drinking Coors Light instead. slf245 (50), USA Oct 27, 2008 Though they were jut making this to make it... but it’s really got a good smooth finish with golden taste.
