Description
Founded back in the Summer of 2013, Beer52 was inspired by a motorcycle road trip that our founder, James Brown, took with his Dad. Stopping at breweries in Belgium along the way, he found his love of craft beer. He set out to visit a new country every month in search of the best beers, his friend Fraser jumped on board for the ride and since then Beer52 has become the world's most popular beer club.

Beer52 didn't become the UK's most popular craft beer club for nothing - we got to where we are by giving beer drinkers the best damn beers on the planet. Our resident beer experts have visited breweries all around the world, in the search of the most interesting brews they can find. We deliver a carefully curated case of these craft beers from our favourite microbreweries every month.

Juicy West Coast IPA with lots of lemon. Some coriander in the mix and soft malts. Not sure if the coriander was intended. The profile is much more American than English IPA for me

[33cl can from the Beer52 box for February.] A slightly hazy amber pour with a thin white head; light citrusy aroma; much fuller in the mouth with a sweet and bitter marmalade thing going on; then some caramel and citrus peel in the finish. Pleasant enough, but why call it a Red Ale?

330ml can, well in date when drank at home on 22nd Feb 2019. Not too sure about Beer 52 and where they brew\source their beers, but I have no complaints about this beer at all. Hazy Amber body, white topping. Nose is hop driven, as is the taste, dank, resinous hoppiness rule the brew, even with the semi-sweet malty base trying to give some balance. Buckwheat? No, light citrus undertone maybe.

330ml can into a 14th Norwich Beer Festival pint sleeve (1991) at home on 22nd Feb 2019. Clear golden body, lasting white head. Hop forward with a decent bitterness and depth of flavour, malty base with some light fruit and piney notes throughout. Overall not bad at all.
