Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Bought this one since I’m such a huge Monty Python fan. Nice aroma , good head. Alcohol content had me soaring like an unladen African Swallow carrying a coconut. Not for empty headed wipers of other people’s bottoms. Ni !!!!!!!!!

Holy Ale smells, pours, and tastes like a typical session bitter without quite achieving greatness. Although pasteurized it leaves a lot of dead yeast residue, so drinker beware! The malt aroma and flavor are quite clean, the residual sugar and yeast do not intrude too much, and the hops are cleanly extracted at about the right level. Competent but not quite excellent.

Fairly bland. I was hoping for a beer that would put one in mind of burning witches and shrubbers named Roger. Not a bad little ale (or ail), just not memorable.

Poured medium golden with aroma of spice and hop. Tasted real smooth and dry with some citrusy hop and a smooth finish. Probably not worth the price to buy again but if someone gave it to me, I’d probably drink it.

Bottle: Copper color, light head and nice lacing. The nose is dry and malty with a bit of noble hops and balanced caramel. The flavor is dry and earthy with more sweet caramel and light hop bitterness. Balanced english ale without all of the dust and a more pronounced hoppy character. Decent.

Very bland beer, decent flavor nothing really special happening in this beer. Witty name but needs a better beer inside, Wouldn’t buy again.

A light amber pour with a nice white head, and some lacing. The nose is faint and hard to detect, while the flavor is nice and crisp. Could be better, but for a novelty named brew, it’s a little better than I would have guessed.

500ml. bottle from L.C.B.O. Ottawa. The color is a light amber with a beige head. The taste is a grainy sour mix. The aroma is not very noticeable. Hops are there but again not very noticeable.
