I was impressed with this beer. It has very intense flavours but they are balanced by hoppy crispness. One of my favourites.

UPDATED: OCT 9, 2006 Rerated: 09 Sep 2006 The 2006 edition is even better. Beautiful to look at clear with a pleasant lasting head. And if possible even hoppier than before !!!!!! Yum. A real contender. This and Little Creatures as good as any APA out there.. You NEED to drink this one, the flavour is just as rich as the Organic Pilsner but with a more bitter Finish

We enjoyed this beer however felt it would be more suited to drinking with some food to take the edge off the citrus hoppiness. Medium bodied and creamy with a lively head and bitter cleansing finish, Would enjoy again, ideally for entree with some salt and pepper squid or similar.

Maybe it’s the water, maybe it’s the hops, maybe it’s Richard or maybe it’s me, but this beer is one of the best on the Planet! Calling this beer a Pale Ale is the most understated understatement I’ve ever seen. I live in the US Pacific Northwest and we have hops a plenty and plenty of hoppy beers. I love this beer so much that I left my golf bag in NZ last trip just so I could fill my hard case golf carrier with Emerson’s Beer - mainly the APA. I can only hope Emerson’s makes it to the United States somewhere sometime other than In my DREAMS!
