tap. totally unbeatable is this beer. best in the emersons range. fresh on tap it’s beautiful. doesn’t bottle quite so well. lucky for me i can drink it on tap!!!

WHo knew NZ could make beer??? Emerson proves they know there stuff, beer perfection!!!!

When fresh as good as any IPA on the palnet. Temperature is critical!!. Lightly chilled but not below 5 degrees. Just so tasty and the taste remains even an hour later. Gotta get more and more and more

Another signature beer from Emersons. If their stuff wasn’t $10 per bottle here in Perth, I would stock my fridge exclusively with it. As good an IPA as I’ve ever tasted (and there are some pretty piss ones in Canada). A little hazy on the pour, bright golden orange with a terrific lasting head. Lots of fruity hops on the nose, and a refreshing mouthful of flavour that finishes crisp and clean without erasing what you’ve just tasted. On a hot Aussie day, give me this or the Pilsner by Emersons and I’ll be in heaven.

reminded me a lot of the squire IPA - a spicy, nutty, prickly, relatively light-bodied IPA. Not hugely bitter or too sticky and crystal malty - very drinkable and balanced. Smells nicely of nutty munich malt and marshmallows (hows that for alliteration?). long tingly finish of toasted malt and spicy hops (fuggles?). very appropriate as i had just performed the choral version of tchaikovsky’s 1812 for 10,000 old ladies at the Superdome. rer8: fresher bottle from Dunedin was heaps hoppier (really peppery) and more bitter - it was like chewing hop cones.rer8+3years: very very good. bb end next year so must be fresh. lovely glowing amber. huge lumpy head that won’t quit - orvalesque. hops seem to have been americanised a bit - definitely some NZ cascade now, as well as fuggles etc. as with other emersons beers, underlying malt is cruskitty. overlaid with caramel and tremendously tasty fruity esters - again, almost belgian. tropical fruits. well balanced, fresh, leafy bitterness unrolls and gradually dries out your tongue. this is really hoppy but it’s not aggressive - dry and aromatic and resinous but not like stone beers or anything. i am very happy they got this down at dan murphys now and i don’t have to go to new zealand to get it.
