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.

I have had this a couple times now. The first time was on tap before it came out in the bottle and it was horrible. In the bottles though it is quite a bit better. It actually has a decent hop flavor to it. Light on the aroma. But not terrible.

poured golden yellow with a descent white head. Nose smelled strongly of skunky hops. Taste was not nearly as hoppy and tasted alot like budweiser, Except it claimed to be all malt. What? No Rice? I was mad! Not a bad beer from A-B though.

Poured golden color. Hardly any aroma. Slightly sweet beer with a tart finish. Not a great beer by any means but definitely better than Budweiser.

Dirty yellow color with big bubbles and little to no head. Almost no aroma. Lots of carbonation. Taste is a little hoppy and bitter. Not all that great, but marginally better than regular Bud.

draft pours a hazy golden. aroma was non-existent. Flavor was of Lemony- grassiness and then sweetness. Not at all what I had hoped for.

Golden colored beer with a largish pure white head. Aroma very weak, what there is suggests lagerish hops. Lightly malty flavour, semi-sweet, a small, very small amount of lemony hop right at the end. Thin and no after taste. Overall not a good beer or even a good blonde.

Poured light golden forms medium white foamy head. Aroma hops and fruits. Flavour was ok, taste of a generic beer, really no particular character. Carbonated hops and ocean water come through. Slight malted and sweet hops came be detected, however it comes across as another gimmicky macro brew product.
