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.

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.

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.

Pretty disappointed in this beer. I was expecting a refreshing summer blonde but it tasted like I was drinking a tasteless light beer. Very nice appearance but other than that it was lacking in every other category

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!

Light malty aroma, poured a pale golden color. Light malty flavor along with some honey? Very thin palate is typical of this type of beer. Not a very good beer, and the worst of the Michelob seasonals (which is saying a lot).
