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.

Can from the brewery. Pours clear gold with a white head. There's so much hop that the pine aroma seems to have some garlic/onion notes. Approaching full bodied. Lots of pine for flavor. Caramel malt support is hardly noticeable compared to the hops. Really bitter. Bitter beyond West Coast old style. Deserves the appellation dank. Good stuff indeed.

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of peach, melon, mango, passion fruit and resin. Pours cloudy golden color with medium sized frothy white head, nice lacing and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts ripe fruity and biscuity, following is resinous, bready, dank, medicinal and herbal, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Phantom fruitiness & devil’s maltiness...

Can from the brewery. Pours hazy ripe apricot color with a very slight white head. Just for a second the aroma made me think of my childhood cod liver oil doses. Then some slightly tangy peach/apricot blew that away. Med plus body/low carbonation. Flavor is very apricot/peach with detectable wood and vanilla. The apricot is nicely done. Honey - it's all over my lips.

Can from High Point, Vancouver, tagged 12/23/19
Hazy, dark blond colour with medium head. I took a bet selecting this can, as it's nearly 1 year old, but it still delivers. Nice aroma of sweet citrus, white grapes, a hint of tropical fruit and pine. It's lightly sweet, still quite lean, with good malt base (better and more developed than most modern IIPAs), sweet crackers, followed by fruity hopping, just a gentle touch of piney resins, and perfectly balanced bitterness. Extra points for being this good after 10+ months.
Excellent.

16 oz. can purchased at Total Wine - Henderson, NV. Pours a super dark brown color with mahogany highlights and a large tan head with great retention. Limited lacing. Very nitro-like pour. Peanut butter aroma, as expected. Peanut butter flavor dominates with some dark chocolate and lactose stout there for support. Very little cinnamon flavor. Creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Sweet but not overly sweet. The 7.5% ABV is invisible. Great dessert beer.
