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.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a nice citrus, mango and papaya fruit. Flavor is more of the tropical fruit hops but this is a bit thin and watery for the style. It's still pretty good and the hops are on point.

Foamy white head stayed on an unclear amber coloured, slowly carbonating body. Pine, pithy, malt & stewed fruit aroma. Full bodied, thick, syrupy, sticky & cloying in the mouth. Bitter pine, malt, caramel, grapefruit, pithy & hoppy tastes with a long tangy finish. Deece!

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Cloudy yellow-orange color with a medium white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Citrus, wheat and malt aroma. Light body with flavors of salty lime, wheat and biscuit malt. The finish is tart with a citrusy aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phrom Phong, Bangkok. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big peanut butter, coffee, lactose. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, nutty, almond, pastry, dough, buttery lactose palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice but only in small servings. Would rapidly become too sickly, for me anyway.
