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.

Im a big fan of this! I got a promo bottle of this from my friend that works for Bud, and boy is this stuff tasty. Also available on tap at some of the Old Chicagos up here. A perfect summer beer for those hot summer days. Not to hoppy, and not to sweet, its a happy medium of taste!

I found this beer in Walmart. Im beyond buying beer in Walmart because I have had all they stock. But this beer was so Refreshing. Great for summer. If you like Hefeweizen’s this beer i believe you will enjoy. Love A/b craft beers.

Bottle. Light honey/straw body with a very loose ½ inch head. Nose-low key hops, almost PN, smelling but not quite, mildly soapy and lotion. Taste-lemon lime soda, light watermelon, seltzer, soft almost greasy mouthfeel, light perfumey floral notes that work well, lemon grass, light lychee, light white grape skins, very light apple. All in all nothing strikes me as gross or nasty, surprisingly mild and well done. Nothing blows me away about this beer, but nothing offends. I would drink this again.

This is brewed by AB, so I really wasn’t expecting much. However, I had it on tap on the deck of a bar in St. Simon’s Island, on a 90 degree summer night, and must say I was pleasantly surprised by this summer brew. Poured to a golden orange with medium, off-white head and okay lacing. There was a slight citrus aroma, mostly grapefruit and lemons, which were more evident in the taste. The palate was smooth and long, and actually reminded me of a mild version of an IPA. Not a bad beer.

(bottle - 12 oz) Golden pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is very light and perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness that over powers the hops. Smooth malty flavor with a light hop bitterness at the end. Middle is smooth and sweet. Aftertaste is slightly sweet and lasts for a while. Not a bad brew at all.
