The story of Emersons Pilsner 6x330B

Emerson's has brewed in Dunedin since 1992, and Lion bought the brewery in November 2012. The Pilsner is the beer that shows Richard Emerson's idea most clearly: take a European classic and give it a Kiwi accent by using New Zealand hops.

The hop here is Riwaka, grown in Nelson, which brings citrus and passionfruit to the aroma and flavour. This is a 4.9% New Zealand pilsner. Early malt sweetness opens the palate before it gives way to a long, dry finish, and the brewery's own words for it are zesty, spritzy and delicately perfumed.

Seafood is where it works best. Steamed mussels, grilled snapper with a squeeze of lime, or a platter of oysters with lemon and chopped herbs all pick up the same citrus lift as the hops, and lemon, lime and fresh herbs are good bridges between plate and glass. This pack holds six 330ml bottles.
