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.

Dark blonde colour. The aroma is slightly spicy, lightly malty. Tastes spicy, with light citrus from the hops. The finish is crisp and balanced.

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.

This pours a bright golden yellow with a short head, but it manages some lasting lacing. The aroma is faint, honey, pale malt, some grassy floral scents. The flavor is a generic pale malty sweetness with a touch of grassy bitterness in the finish. One was enough.

Light golden color with a tall BIG bubbled head that dissipates quite quickly leaving a couple splotches of lace. Looks cheap. Aroma is elusive. I thought I caught some hops but then they were gone. Maybe just a hint of dry grains, white grapes and dry grass. Weak. God lord the flavors match the aromas. Dry grain, actually a touch of corn and a light dry herb flavor. Tastes somewhat like a weak malt liquor. Life’s a beach and this beer is a bummer.

Bottle: Pale yellow, thin white head, no lacing. Nose of light corn and bland hop, the AB hops always seem to underwhelm, or maybe it’s just the way they use them. The flavor goes way downhill, thin, tinny and soapy. Not good, not very quenching even. I’m glad I’m not a beach bum.

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.

Draft at Williamsburg Great Wolf Lodge. Pale gold with minimal, fizzy, white head. Slight hopcitric and honey malty aroma and taste hints, but really not much going on here. Around a pool in 90 degree heat, it refreshed, but it isn’t a great beer by any means.
