Beach Life Ale is a refreshing, light bodied ale with a smooth maltiness and a clean finish. A touch of noble hops adds balance with just a hint of citrus.

12 oz can from the Wall of Beer in Clemson, SC ($2.29).
This blonde ale is slightly hazy and has a rather dry finish: Both unusual for the style. Not unusual: it is mildly flavored with a near even balance of hops and grains.

Drank from 12 oz can; born on 6/3/22. Pleasant, easy drinking beer with a lowish ABV that makes it a great beach beer (duh). High carbonation with subtle hops and biscuity flavoring. A great beach beer in the islands!

12 oz can. Appropriately drank on the beach at Trunk Bay, St John.
clear, light yellow in color, white head. Aroma is just a touch of citrus. Taste is mild, clean. Thinner bodied. Overall an easy drinking blonde ale.

Presentation: 12 oz. can with the canning date printed on the bottom. Served in a pint glass.
Appearance: The rocky, half finger head stays around for a little bit and leaves behind a thin foam ring and a lot of patchy lacing. It's a slightly hazy, pale gold color.
Smell: It's a sweet aroma of malt and honey with some pleasant floral notes in the background.
Taste: There's a hoppy, floral character to the beer but it's soft and the bitterness is still quite low. It also has a sweet, bready character to balance things out.
Mouthfeel: It's light, extremely refreshing and with a touch of creaminess that gives it substance. Carbonation is medium.
Overall: The low bitterness, light body and floral aroma make this a very easy to drink beer as expected from your average blonde ale. That said, there's a pleasantly surprising amount of complexity and balance here that your definitely don't find in your regular, run of the mill blonde. It helps it stand out from the rest of the pack.
