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.

12 oz bottle. Pours to a bright, golden color, with a rocky white head, and a good carbonation. The nose on this beer is actually promising, with some good herbal hop aroma, and light pale malt aroma. The promise ends there. The palate is lean, with some light pale malt flavor, on a thin and fizzy body. This beer then fades into a black hole of nothing, with faint hop bitterness. Drinkable ice cold on a hot day, this beer is well made, but with all AB products that are suppose to be "craft", too timid for its own good. I was underwhelmed.

Well....yeah. When a beer is the color of pee I’m not impressed right away. A combination of chlorine on the nose and some soap in the finish makes me happy it came in a variety 6.

12 oz bottle from GM Liquors; Nose of corn sugar syrup and a very light vanilla hint; clear urine yellow with a big yellow-tinged head; flavor is slightly sweet with a very slight bitter note in the background. Thin, sweet blonde beer.

Poured a weak straw color with a big white head. Aroma was really bland, some corn a bit grassy and a tiny hint of hops. Flavor was extremely bland, like water, not really and bad flavors, just none at all

Pours clear yellow with lots of carbonation and frothy white head. Aroma is metallic, grain, and a hint of sweet malt and some citrus bitterness. Flavor doesn’t resemble much, other than watery grain. Yuck. Palate is thin like water with lots of tingling carbonation. Cool label, shitty beer.

On tap at a local pizza joint. Clear golden with a fluffy white head. Malty aroma and taste with some light grain notes.
