Emersons Pilsner

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

Often tasted, finally rated. Light golden, full white head. Grassy, slightly bready and earthy aroma. Touch of fruits but slight hints of sulphur too. Nice cleansing full mouthfeel, citrus, grassy a touch winey with a decent crisp bitter finish - many things rolled in to one. The brewers flagship beer and fair enough

Bottle@Taieri Gorge Railway, Dunedin. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is mellow, vinous, fruity and dry, and the flavour is very bitter and hopped. Overall an average strong tasting pilsner.

Pours slightly cloudy gold with about 1 cm of lingering head. Greeted with strong passionfruit armoas. Bittersweet on the tongue, passionfruit/apricot flavours stay strong to the very last drop. Excellent Pilsner.

Truely glorious. A head of epic proportion. Balanced citrus and ale flavours. Not sure where the pils was though. Brilliant.

Bottled: Slightly hazy gold with a small lingering head + some lacing. Big fruity aroma - passionfruit/apricot/lychee. Smoothly malty and fruity. In fact the fruitiness lasts right up to the bitter finish. I ’d been looking foward to trying this for ages and am relieved to find that its good - quite good indeed.

Bottled. Many Thanks to Phil_L for this. A hazy blonde coloured beer with a huge Duvel like white head. The aroma is very hoppy. Tropical fruit and lemon. A tiny touch of acidity peeps out from the background. Lovely hoppy flavours also. Big hits of lemon, and juicy oranges. Especially full bodied for a light lager. A wonderful pilsener. Why can’t our brewers produce something this good?

Pottle courtesy of beer_ledgend. Pours gold and slightly hazy with a nice rocky white head. Smells of straw, citrus, pepper, touches of honey and apples, strawberries, hay, hints of dry crisp malt. Tastes of citrus, caramel, nicely balanced by dry pilsner malt and some peppery splashes. Lots of earthiness as the beer warms. Mouthfeel is full bodied and yields moderate bitterness. Finish is refreshing with some caramel and fruity sensations. An excellent gem of a beer!

Flaske. Det var med en bekymret mine jeg åbnede 2 af denne øl, da jeg lige havde fået en besked om at der var problemer med dette batch. Heldigvis var begge øl i tip top stand. Lækker og frisk med den rigtige balance imellem bitterhed og friskheh. En anelse blomster men ellers primært citrus. Genopvækkede virkelig min kærlighed til en pilsner.
