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.

This beer was indeed lacking a lot in the flavor department. Pours a bright, semi cloudy golden colour. Hint of lemon in the aroma other then that it was dull. Grainy on the palate, lifeless qualities.

Single at the Hospitality Room at the A-B Brewery in Jacksonville Fl. Better than I expected. Light golden beer with a white head. Light hop aroma. Flavor had a slight spicyness and citric sharpness from the cascade hops. Not bad. Very drinkable and forgettable. A good party beer and beach beer for when you just want something refreshing and wet and don’t want to have to think about it.

I purchased this beer on the way to a pool party hoping for more than a watery AB brew, I was disappointed. Tastes like Budweiser, with maybe a slight hint of flavor. Won’t buy again.

Bottle. This is a bottle you buy for a rating and nothing more. Its a poor example of the style and its yellow liquid corn husk and hopless. useless if it didnt have 5%abv.

Bottle. This brew’s 175th rating, my 1625th. All-malt, huh? Slightly spicy, citric, malty aroma, but doesn’t particularly smells like it’s all malt - smells like it’s half corn, in fact. Better than rice, I guess. Sickly pale golden pour with a soapy beige head. Thin, medially sweet taste, resolving from weak pale malts into that husky, grainy breadiness that whisps by the end. Body is medium, no hops to speak of. Not terrible, not something I’ll be having again.

draft @ NRA show Chicago. Really not as bad as i would have thought. Yellow golden color. Slight lemon citrus, light corn, could be artifical sweetness. Ive had worse & could drink again if really desperate

Another attemt of AB to try and break into the craft market. If they are ot going to really try they need to stop. It’s barely more flavorfull than anything else they make.

eh. ah, um, er, shucks. *burp* It is a beer. Confidant of that. Nothing offending. Much. Better than nothing, I guess. Think I have to trim my toe nails now. Oh, that’s right, this beer. Clear, yellow, somewhat fizzy. Beery, a littlle bittersweet. Forgetful. Some head and lace at least.
