Beercelona

Brewery: Barcelona Beer Company

Supplier: Beer52

Another Spanish beer from the Beer52 box. This one is from Barcelona obviously and is their flagship pale ale. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A golden straw colour with lots of bubbles plus a thick and lasting white head. 

Aroma: Typical citrus fruit hop notes, but coupled with a little bit of a soapy note.

Flavour: First comes a nice, slightly sweet, malt base. This is followed almost immediately with a faint hop resin note (coupled with some of the citrus fruit notes) that balances well with the malt.

Body: A little too much body for this beer as it takes away from the freshness.

Aftertaste: This is where the soapy hop notes come in, not too bad but not pleasant; it doesn't make you want to keep drinking it. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, an OK beer with some flaws

Price Range: Part of the box of 8 I got for £12 (usually £24), so it works out at £1.50 for a 330ml bottle; this is a fairly good price, cheap enough that it is worth it.

Food Pairings: It would probably go well with something like a chicken Caesar salad, something crisp but with a strong sauce.
