17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 27, 2007 Really simple.. uninteresting... faint ale taste with mellow bitter finish. maybe mine is too cold tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Apr 27, 2007 Bottle 500 cl. Amber with good off-white head. Sweet malt, fruity hops. Dry, sweet and a bit bitter finish. Ok+ beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Apr 22, 2007 500 Ml Bottle-Poured a clear copper color w/a fairly large off white head. Didn’t really have a distinct aroma, just smelled like "beer". Had a slight floral hop flavor w/a little bit of roasted malt & dough. Some roasted nuts. Kind of thin w/a coppery overtone. Short finish, tasted more like an APA than an ESB to me. I’ve seen this beer around for quite a while & avoided it; considered it another gimmick beer & I’ve usually found them to be rather unimpressive. This one fit that bill, I wouldn’t bother with it. Inoffensive, but not much to it. mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 20, 2007 [248-20070331] 500mL. Light citrus hop aroma with medium alcohol. Slightly hazy, orange light brown body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Medium alcohol flavour, some bready yeast. Medium-full body has noticeable alcohol presence. Does not particularly inspire thoughts on that revered flask of eternal life but... it made me laugh. BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2007 1 Pint Bottle
A nice easy to drink Bitter beer. A golden color with a thin head. The beer drank easy and the bitterness was very faint and low The beer seemed a tad light struck and the beer was good but needed more flavor and work. Not bad but not good. OleR (2010), Oslo, Norway Apr 16, 2007 500 ml bottle. A golden brown beer with a thin, bubbely greyish head. Nice but weak toffee/caramel nose. Notes of grassy hops. Taste is moderately sweet malts, slightly bittering hops with some very nice fruity notes. Light to medium body. Mild lingerering bitter end. A nice one, but I’ll preferer the John Cleese ’silly walk’ on the label... Maverick34 (690), New York, USA Apr 13, 2007 Pours a pale ameber w/decent head. Taste is sweet, grassy & bitter. Not bad consideringthe alternatives. natejgood (189), Denver, Colorado, USA Apr 13, 2007 This beer pours a dark golden color. A little like a darker Budweiser (which is a little disconcerting. It has a frothy looking head that stays around for a while and is made of rather large bubbles. Looking through the beer I also notice that there are large bubbles shooting to the surface of the beer at a pretty good clip. Smells pretty much like a standard ale and maybe a little skunky. This ale tastes sweet with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Has a little bit of a grassy flavor to it too. This isn’t my favorite ale, but it gets props for the Monty Python marketing.
