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.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is honey with pale malt and hints of ripe fruits. Sweetish honey flavour with low bitterness. Medium body, I don't expect much from honey beers but this one is at least decent.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is big passion fruit with stone fruits, grapefruit, peach, tropical fruits, guava. Candied fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet with a modest bitterness. Body is medium. Very fruited, lacks bitter hoppy counterbalance. Somewhat enjoyable, but too much Fruit Beer and too little IPA.
