Black Sheep Monty Pythons Holy Grail

Certianly a nice piece of Python kitch, but not exactly an awesome beer. But what should one expect from something with the Python name on it? Pous a nice dark amber with adequate foam. Malty body with definate hop ending. Beer seems to taste better as it warms (better hop flavour). 1 pint, 0.9 oz bottle. I think it might be better if were left unpasteurised.

Bottle. A light amber color. Big head. Malt and caramel in aroma with notes of alcohol. Taste of hops and a little bitterness.

Was very smooth and had little carbonation. Had a wine flavor to it with a big presence of butterscotch.

pours clear amber with thick off white head. retain and laces. fruity spicy aroma. has a spicy crispness with and light to moderate english malt body. finish dry. very quaffable but mediocre

Ok I have to admit that I bought it just for the name since I am a MP fan. I expected something average or even below that , but was pretty surpised. A decent good looking bitter. Crisp and malty. Balanced taste of fruit and spices. Very nice.

Cloudy amber with a thick creamy head. Nice fruity aroma with a touch of anise, but it didn’t really transfer to tasting where it was full of peppery spice. Some shallow bitterness in the flavour that seemed a bit out of balance. It’s a reasonable beer, but nothing of note. If it was a sword it would barely inflict a flesh wound.

This is a decent English Pale Ale that is good easy drinking but far from exciting. It is a very clever label on a cool uniquely shaped bottle. Certainly presentation and marketing are part of selling beer and they score points in that department. BTW: Terry Gilliam rocks! Appearance: Pours a light golden grail colored ail (ale) =) Smell: Not much here but a hint pale malts and musty English hops. Taste: Pale malts and gently English hops make this a straight forward quaffable ale that is simple and easy drinking. Mouthfeel: Light and crisp Drinkability: Easy drinking beer made more for drinking than for thinking. Very sessionable. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber/red color. Light scent of malt. Drinks clean with a crisp finish. Very nice for a bitter.
