| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2006 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. bridge (659), Sydney, Australia
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2006 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. Phatz (225), Paradise, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2006 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.
