After seeing Spamalot,there was little doubt this nectar would be in my future. Poured into a snifter as the Knights of Nee stood watch in the distance.

A: "What is your favorite color?" Clear amber with a white half finger head that leaves foamy bubbles. Careful with those coconuts, horseman!

S: "What is your quest?" Verily, I detect a citrus sword fight clashing with light malts. Not a whiff of rabbit, yet it peers from its hole, teeth bared and hungry.

T: Ah, smooth , citrus and malty. Methinks this doth drink like a lager. 'tis more like a summer ale. This is the ale that drinks like this.

M:"What is the air speed velocity of an unladen African Sparrow?" Light to medium with medium carbonation. Great bubbling, like a witch's cauldron, without all the rancid heat and eyes of newt.

O: Crisp, sessionable, yet more like a sequel than the real deal. It's just a flesh wound. If I'm going to drink like the Knights of the Round Table, quench my thirst with a brew that slaps me from my horse and dances silly jigs while farting in my general direction.
