I have been hearing good things about Beach City beers but I haven’t been able to visit their space. But thanks to the enterprising folks at Sunset Beer,I found two bottles that I could bring home.
First things first. Both the beer name and label need work. Compared to other L.A. Breweries, those two aspects pale. Maybe use a more obscure surfing reference and find a cleaner, less busy piece of label art.
On to the beer. It pours a light orange witha bit of head to it. The aroma is spice with some wood notes. The taste is fine though I think it is faded a bit. Maybe too old of a bottle. Still has a bit of hop hit to it but seems less rounded. Even the carbonation seems dulled.
I will have to reserve full judgement until I have it fresh on tap but this is only so-so.
