COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Beach Bum is an all-malt American blonde ale, which draws its deep golden color from the finest pale and caramel roasted barley malts. This beer is dry hopped with the choicest imported Alsace and Hallertau hops as well as Cascade hops from the Pacific Northwest, which lend to its pleasant hop aroma and its slightly spicy and fruity taste.

Man, everytime you turn around there is another michelob beer to be tasted. Smell is sweetly hoppy. Looks like a pale lager of sorts. Taste is at first a little bitter hoppy then that fades quite rapidly. Decent amount of fizz on the palate, each sips is fizzy but fades to a flat. Seems to be a tad watery at times. Friendly light and easy going for the most part. Background slight medicinal bitterness on the finish. IMHO there are many other better blondes for the price such as Indigo Imp Blonde Bombshell, Roy Pitz Best Blonde Ale, Hoppy Liquid Sunshine Blonde Ale but its much better than koch’s golden anniversary ale.

Unfortunately, another cheap island crab shack/shrimp picking restaurant favorite, draught. Clear gold with white head. Drippy. Aroma of sweet corn and flavor. Ends with light bitterness and hint of sour pucker.

thirdeye11 (4093) - Dallas, Texas, USA - NOV 21, 2009
( 12oz bottle) Pours pale yellow with good lacing. Nose of caramel, spicy yeast. Taste is spices, corn, crisp malt. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - NOV 1, 2009
Sampled from single 12-oz bottle from Cellars Wine & Spirits in St Paul. Pours a clear golden pale colored brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of golden grain malt, some grassy hops, and a touch of green vegetable. Taste is light bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, a hint of grassy hops and some honey. Finish has a definite watered down corn and golden grain aftertaste with a short lived bitterness that ends with a crisp and no aftertaste. An average blonde brew overall.

A very refreshing beer, but of a poor quality. I suggest trying it once, and moving on.

Elwood (1965) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - OCT 19, 2009
Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear, pale gold with a foamy, white head. Poor head retention. Aroma: Very light nose. Some light biscuit notes, perhaps a bit of grain, and very light grassy hops. Flavor: Watery pale malt and a light bitterness. Surprisingly devoid of flavor. Palate: Medium carbonation with a very light mouthfeel and a short, watery finish. Overall: Buy water. It’s cheaper and has the same flavor.

A refreshing, strong ale for what is typically a weaker category. After the pour in continues mixing due to settling which provides a fresh taste
