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.

Draught at Pour 24, Las Vegas, NV. Clear yellow, minimal head. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Slight notes of honey, other wise vacuum dominates until it warms slightly and stale butter takes over. Hard and fizzy, dull but somewhat drinkable.

bhensonb (7575) - Woodland, California, USA - JUN 21, 2008
Bottle. Brassy gold color with a decent white head. Sort of a grassy hop aroma over mild pale malt. Thin to medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is mild malt and mild noble hop. Not much spice. Finish is pretty bland. Obviously A-B skimped on ingredients, but it’s drinkable. Finishes more like a wheat beer than a malt beer. It’s ok.

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2007 Draft at Fox & Hound, Wilmington, NC... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Clear golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Good retention. The aroma and flavor are almost entirely nondescript. Thin and fizzy. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Draft. Hazy orange with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate floral citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a sweet finish of short duration. Drinkable summer brew that was better than my expectations.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a fading white head over a clear golden body. No aroma really, maybe some biscuit and grass. Taste is a bit bitter, and not much else. Bad, dry, bland!
