Beach Bum Blonde Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
St. Louis, Missouri USA

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.

Pretty good light beer. Has a slight ’twinge’ to the taste (may be the malt...I’m not sure). Fair amount of lacing and only a little head.

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.

Only somewhat drinkable beer on tap at the Green Iguana in Tampa <P> Aroma is light but has perfumey hops that smell both fruity and floral. Almost has a coriander wit type aroma, but much less concentrated. Body is clear gold with a diminishing thumb thick head. Fore is lightly hopped, but the hops are floral and pleasant. Fairly watery, but this has some flavor. Big citrus kick in the middle and finish tastes like orange peel and orange juice and it’s fairly well hopped flavor wise for the style and especially for a Bud product. Has a fairly lagery flavor in the far finish that is grainy and malty sweet, but this is not at all a bad beer. <P> It feels a lot more like a Blonde Ale than a Pale Ale and tastes that way too, but it is not bad flavor wise...just probably not what most would expect when they order a pale ale.

12oz bottle from Shaw’s in Augusta. Light amber/dark yellow translucent body with a thin film of off-white head. Biscuit malt and European hops share the aroma, though the smell is far from overwhelming. Biscuit malt dominates the flavor with a hint of hops toward the finish. Rather watery on the mouthfeel, which helps the drinkability. Nothing overpowering or overly impressive, but a decent easy-drinking summer beer.
