MaltDawg (287), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 10, 2008 22 oz bottle . Aroma of pale malts and grain with nutmeg and allspice.
Cloudy light straw with rocky white head. Nice spicey notes of nutmeg, grain of paradise, ginger and lemmon zest in flavor with pale malts and touch of citrusy hops. Medium body with high carbonation. Finish is light and dry with a bit of lemmon citrus.
Beershine (1207), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 20, 2008 Hazy honey color with nice white head that is fizzy and vanishes fast. Sweet, floral, like herbal tea. Fizzy mouthfeel. Thin. Quite bland, mild and very tea-like. Unique, refreshing but not at all satisfying. mephisto (1097), Taiwan Aug 18, 2008 hazy light yellow colored with a thin layer of white top, it has slight foral aroma with spice accent. the flaovr is floral mixed with herb bitterness. rajendra82 (637), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Aug 18, 2008 Very pale colored pour, which went along perfectly with the albino python shown on the label. The carbonation was huge, and the head very large as a result. The smell was that of banana and lavender. The taste was fluffy, and a bit too much like flower petals. The carbonation was quite active, and made the beer feel like cotton candy in the mouth. There was not much to this little beer. Next time they should try to get a giant python and not a pygmy one. thornecb (1033), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Aug 17, 2008 Pours hazy gold into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Mild spice aromas. Crisp, smooth and full with coriander and citrus. Similar to an imperial wit. nearbeer (1199), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 16, 2008 650 ml. Slight fog on the pale golden brew with a small, sudsy and lasting head. Spicy evergreen, peppery orange zest and honey aroma. Tastes of lemon-honey, some peppery ginger, and rosemary/spruce resin. Light-bodied, way too frothy with carbonation, and a spicy-dry finish. The spices are nicely done; tastes similar to the Weihenstephaner Grut Bier, but not so over-the-top with the evergreen-herbal flavors. If this one weren’t so fizzy it would get a couple more tenths on points.
