Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Deep golden body with a thin white head that leaves a bit of lacing. Overall sweet aroma. Fruity and floral hops and some caramel. Clean, crisp, and bright. High carbonation. Earthy flavors along with some ripe fruit notes. Slightly bitter finish with a lick of hops. A cool beer that tastes pretty good.

Got it because it’s Monty Python and it’s "brewed over burning witches." Smells and tastes like beer. Pretty generic, but has a healthy amount of bitter.

Cute name, clever label, but nothing else remarkable about this one. It’s a drinkable English ale with no vices or standout qualities. Maybe once was enough; there are better ales out there.

Drinkable and refreshing for the style, but not all the impressive and more of a session beer.

This is a nice session beer with some hops, some malt and an easy drinking characteristic about it.

Bottle. A dark orange/amber color pour with a medium sized rocky white head , some light lacing left behind , medium carbonation .Aroma is lightly malty with a bit of floral hops . Flavor is of caramel malt, ripe apple , and a bit of hops, lightly bitter , short fruity finish . A crisp mouthfeel , medium body . A good try , nothing offensive but nothing to bring me back for another . Quite sessionable .

Bottle. 4.7%. Was expecting glory to ooze from my pores with the consumption of this. Instead, I was oozing with mediocrity, and perhaps beer sweats. Clear amberish (pale) pour with a weak, bubbly white head, little retention. Aroma was sweet, citrusy. Taste was pretty bland, and a little too grainy, but a fair amount of hoppish flavour, and the bitter finish was well achieved. Just OK for me.

2009 Bottle. They’re clearly depending upon the Monty Python branding to make this beer sell. Generally mediocre ESB, lacking the typical creamy consistency with a decent amount of non-biting hops. Not bad, but not great.
