Brewers Description of this Summer Beach Beer:
“We wanted to create a beer with the same distinct crispness and color that you get in the days of early summer. Using a dry-hopping technique, hops are not only added to the brew kettle, but also included in the aging tank, giving the specialty beer its distinct and crisp hop aroma. The choice selection of pale and caramel roasted barley malt gives this beer its deep golden color that looks great in a glass.”
Summer Beach Beer
Apathetic
The label of Beach Bum Blonde Ale is a great emblem for an unmistakable summer beer. The pour delivers little to no aroma, which generally provides a clue to what the mouth will experience. What the nose sensed was right in line with a simplistic neutral-flavor beer with very mild malty tones. Beach Bum Blonde Ale is a lighter beer but lacked any crispness that is so refreshing on a hot summer day. The flavor of this summer beach beer quickly dissipates with zero finish.
The beer, like a beach bum, did not work very hard to impress.
