Emersons Pilsner

Brewed by Emersons Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Dunedin, New Zealand

(500ml bottle, best by 2/06) Lightly hazed straw body topped by a big white head. Aroma is medium sweet, herbal/grassy, some cereal, lemon. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/herbal, light lemon. Crisp light-medium body. Very enjoyable.

Bottle at Olbaren during RBESG 05 pub crawl. Really tasty hoppy Pils. Banana malt, very crispy, fresh, tasty and full of flavour. As previously noted, this had a thick mouthfeel for a Pils, and seems too good for the style generally.

Hazy yellow, thick white foamy head. Malty, fruity nose. Refreshing diacetyl flavour. Very fruity and grassy. Thick mouthfeel (at least for a pilsner)

Bottled (BB 03/2006)
Pale golden, a bit hazy golden color, good white head. Hoppy, quite plain grassy nose. Sweet, a bit hoppy, grassy flavors all over.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy warm yellow. Smells hoppy and flowery. Quite sweet with a very flowery aroma (eldeberry flower). I´m usually not a pilsener fan but this was surpirsingly good first mouthfull.

It’s like there’s a party in my mouth and everyone is invited! I struggle to think of a beer that I’ve found more enjoyable! Available at the Masonic Hotel Devonport NZ And now at Celebrations in Rivervale WA out of stock at the moment but I’ve convinced the manager to get more in.

Bottle. Golden with an impressive lasting head. Aromas of fresh hops and freshly baked white bread. Mediumbodied and quite malty on the palate. Good bitterness. Pilsner doesn’t get much better than this.

Dec 2004 - Big floral aroma. Cloudy yellow-gold colour and great lacing. Heaps of fruit hops, a bit to overpowering for a Pilsner. The big hop finish is a bit of a tongue scraper for me.
