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.

Mostly clear pale yellow-gold with moderate sized white foamy top. Grain and grassy hop aroma, some hay, decent freshness. Good grassy bitterness and pepper spice to this one. A light malty grain bite to it but still a refreshing style lager. Enjoyable.

Can from Beer52. Hazy yellow-gold with small fluffy white head. Aroma of orange, dankness and sweet floral notes. Taste has a juicy citrus character, sweetness, with some floral and bitter notes, semi-dry in the finish. Lovely soft mouthfeel. Its good.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head; sweet grassy aroma; sweet in the mouth with a taste of stale cereal grains; then an acidic bitterness to round things off. An unpleasant lager.

330ml can via Beer52, most likely a rebadge of something: BBE February 2026, drank at home late on 28th November 2024. Golden body, clean and clear, white crown that lasted a while. Bitter, crisp hoppy bite, mini-citrus leaning, dry and lip-smacking. To be far it's a lot better than I expected even if it was a little 'thin' body wise.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a tight white head; lemony aroma; sharp lemony taste; and a crisp refreshing finish with a vegetal bitterness. Not a serious beer, but great after an afternoon in the garden.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy amber pour with a thick white head; floral aroma; sharp herbal taste; and a clean bitter herbal finish. Crisp and refreshing, but not really enjoyable.

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours golden yellow with a small white head. Caramel and biscuits to the fore in the aroma plus some malty traces. In the mouth it is initially sharp and metallic, but soon a sweet jiciness comes to the fore overlaying bitterness of old school hops plus fairly high carbonation. Bitterness increases in the dry finish. Not bad after an unpromising start. I would call this a lager, not a pale ale though.
