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.

A crisp, dry saison with a little and zesty hop under a spicy aroma but with a slightly watery body. Not a bad floral aftertaste but there's just not enough to recommend going out of your way for it though it's not too shabby for the strength.

Bottle shared at BOD. It pours hazy yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, zingy, green banana, cereal, nougat, kiwi fruit, bready and doughy. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, sour citrus fruits, lemon peel, peppery spice, grapefruit and kiwi with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not bad, has a good tart elements.

Bottle from Beer 52. Appearance - cloudy orange with tonnes of floaters. Nose - orange and orange peel. Pungent mango edge to it. Taste - more orange and mango than it is guava. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. Decent taper on the finish. Overall - good despite floaters and in my opinion not being specifically guava.

Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, slick texture, above average carbonation. Disappointing.

330ml bottle; BB 1st Oct 2019. Drank at home on 28th Nov 2018. Mini haze to the golden pour, decent sized white crown that hung around. Light yeasty aroma with citrus fruit esters alongside. Taste slightly yeasty and again with a citrus fruit leaning, mild herbal notes within the semi-bitter, semi-tart hop flavours; malts in the background.

Bottle in Oldmeldrum. It pours clear deep brown with a decent foamy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, burnt caramel, aisin, sultana, leather, toasted nut and brown bread. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, wood, leather, fruit cake, cola and damp leaves with a drying finiah. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok for what it is, but has a fair bit of cola character to it.
