33 cl bottle @ home. Pale golden color, slightly hazy. White head, leaving one ring of foam. Aroma’s of grainy malt, grassy hops and some fruit. Slightly malty sweet flavor with beginning bitterness. Finishes with a nice bitterness. A bit less fruit and more malt would make this a perfect pilsner.

Bottle: Medium vast white head, disappears slow and leaves a rocky white head on top of an almost clear yellow colored beer. The aroma is so typical for it’s style. If you would let me smell this and tell me it’s German I would believe it too. You seriously don’t smell it’s from Emelisse. Some typical malt aromas, pils malts and some light herbs, grass/hay and hop tones. Taste is smooth and even a bit floral in the beginning but looses the floral tones quickly and the malty herby tones take over with a nice medium growing bitterness. The aftertaste is a pretty typical mix of herbs, malts, bitter and a hint of herby leaves. Low to medium carbo, soft (light spicy, but disappears quick) mouthfeel, low to more medium body and a light creamy texture. Nothing interesting to be honest. Though unfiltered this might be pretty good.

A typical pilsener made by Emelisse. A nice blond color very shiny. The head is totally white like a typical pilsener. First taste you feel this beer as a traditionnal pilsener like corn and wheat and on after taste you smell the complexity of this beer. A great beer for this summer.

Golden coloration, not quite transparent. Bitter, but not overwhelmingly so. Weak body. Hops hit the back of the tongue gradually and with subtlety. Tried with Dave at the brewery in April, 2012.

Bottle 33cl from bierkoning thanks. A slightly cloudy yellow beer with medium head. Nose is on grain and like unfiltered pilsner. Aroma is grainy, malty with a dry feeling, round hops on grass and slightly floral. A properly done unfiltered pilsner, good bread notes on aftertaste.

33cl bottle from Emelisse biershop. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme houblonné frais, malté et grains assez poudreux, levure renfermée avec un bouquet fruité. En bouche, ma rappelle une bonne version d’une pils Bohémienne, palais est mi-doux avec une note de grains pâle avec en retrait un houblon finement citronné. Assez difficile à décrire, un profile pils, mais avec un petit qcq chose en plus tout en gardant ce léger profile épicé houblonné sur un profile malt riche et une amertume bien en avant mais balancée avec le grains.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Slightly sweet grainy malty aroma with hints of biscuits and a tinge of flowery hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Pale malt-character with grainy spots and a chalky touch, accompanied by herbal hops towards the dry and moderately bitter finish. Not bad, perhaps (stylewise) the water is a too hard. 22.I.12

A slightly cloudy beer with a weak and white head. Aroma is malty, nicely aromatic, some fruits and also some sweetness. Taste is malty, some grass and butter, hint of aromatic fruitness as aroma, medium bitterness, that could be even more. Medium- bodied, nice carbonation, slightly rough to drink. Nice beer with great aromatic, especially in the aroma.

Nice little citrus aroma. Cloudy light yellow. Taste sweet little bitter. 33CL bottle.

330ml bottle. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Unspecific, mild pilsener. Boring. Emelisse can do much better.
