Commercial Description:
A slightly roasted malt gives it a light amber color. The rich flavor dominates the malt/hops balance and is very popular among most beer drinkers.

Bright amber colour. Thin layer of lasting foam. Sweet caramel aroma with faint wood, diacetyl. Light body. Some alcohol notes, vague caramel. Fizzy finish. Bland.

It’s not a bad beer, but its strength lies in re-using those great swingtops for homebrewing. Nothing distinctive about it, mild aroma, mild taste, mild aftertaste.

Sparkling clear, dictionary definition of amber. Small, creamy, white head. Very good retention and creamy lacework. The aroma is of bisquit and beef broth. The flavor matches the aroma along with bonus notes of hearty twelve grain bread. Not quite balanced. A little on the sweet side. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. The finish is medium-length and bitter-sweet.

(500ml bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, grain, soap, and mustiness. Flavor of toasted grain and grass with a dry, metallic finish.

22oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and gold color. Aroma is light/medium fruit-including apple, malt/grain. Taste follows, some adjuncts? Easy drinking. Mild carbonation.

Bottled, pasteurised. Reddish amber with bubbly, gassed head. Despite the gassiness of the beer there is a surprising amount of flavour, all malt really, but there is a certain charm to it. Presentable.

Understand, I have nothing against the French despite the "red state" climate that we live in. Without their aid during the Revolutionary War, we wouldn’t have this nation that Dubya can condemn them from. But their beers... So far Belzebuth is the only one that I enjoy. This one pours a watery copper color with a quickly dissipating head. The aroma is cloyingly sweet, the only relief coming from a whiff of new mown lawn. It’s watery in the mouth. And sweet. But luckily the water cuts the sweetness. I didn’t detect any hops in the taste or finish. I could only bring myself to drink half of the bottle.
