Description
Launched in 2012 by by Thomas Vogel, Dave Mobley, and brewmaster Troy Smith, Belching Beaver Brewery evolved from a desire to make great beer and have a ‘Dam Good Time’ doing it. The award-winning craft beer company is focused on two things: First, have a brand that offers quality craft beer, while also being whimsical and fun to inspire good times. Each Belching Beaver beer release carries its own individual style and personality. Second, make beer for everyone and all palates. Our San Diego Brewery hosts 5 different locations serving craft beer you're going to love, of which the Oceanside Brewhouse is the production brewery.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with particulate in suspension and a medium, frothy, short lived, off-white head that leaves soapy lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of bready pale malt, mango, pineapple, orange, cantaloupe, peach and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, tangerine, orange, mango, pineapple, peach, earthy yeast and weedy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and enjoyable.

More Belching Beaver brews showing up on the shelves locally, good by me. I found a pint can of Tiempos Buenos at the nearest HEB and have it ready to taste. My Cowtown snifter out for this beer, I pour to determine an opaque, distinctly yellow body with a minimal amount of white, very fine bubbles. I call the scent fresh. As in field and citrus and water. And the taste is likewise pleasant without being earth shattering. Malt, light lemon, grain and a dry finish. It seems denser than lagers I am used to. It leans towards the top of the style for me. The weather is good here in Texas.

500ml shared with George @ 🏡 celebrating his new job. Appearance: almost black with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: lots of barrel character with some nice sweetness coming from maple syrup. Taste: very silky and quite sweet, balanced maple syrup. Overall: a bit over-sweet, but it's quite nice, especially in terms of the balanced addition of maple syrup.

Pale straw color. Massively hopped up nose that is fairly grassy with some minty notes. Light body, not much backbone and a lot of grassy bitterness. Slightly waxy feel on the tongue at the end. Easy drinking enough, but this is way too bitter.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus and caramel. Medium plus body. Flavor is heavy mixed citrus and floral with significant malt support. Sorta dry - more than sorta bitter. Very good tasting ale.
