COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Summer season is almost upon us and so is our release of Emerson’s bottled Weissbier. As a teaser to our seasonal Weissbier and a celebration of our recent Champion Brewery award at BrewNZ 2009 we have brewed something very special. A Weissbier or hefeweizen brewed for the tap!

Brewer’s Reserves should be something special, and we aim to always ensure that this is so. A selection of three wheat malts, two German, and an Australian wheat have been combined to give a complex pale weissbier with the best traditional flavours of European malt and the lighter, more lemony character of Australian wheat. We have increased the amount of malt to lift the usual ‘weight’ of our Weissbier to 6.0% alcohol by volume enhancing the classic weissbier characters. Enhanced banana, apple, spice, and even hints of pineapple are present in this complex yet refreshing tap Weiss.

We’d like to see this as our Reserve or special Director’s Weissbier – the best thing is that you get to experience it and its not kept to the boardroom!

Unfiltered or ‘mit hefe’ and served in a tall 500 ml Weissbier glass. Who says Beervana happens only once a year?!

Prosit!

One of my favourite BRs so far. Has a rich wheaty, banana aroma with some other tropical fruits. Flavours are much the same. Medium body, full of flavour and esters. Bready yeast. A bit of saltiness in the finish. I could drink a lot of this...

Pale yellow and cloudy. Faint, yet typical weiss aroma. Flavour is all bubble gum, cloves etc... Deacent mouthfeel too. Very nice little wheatbeer.

Huge nose, like the regular weiss on a crack fuelled rampage. Notes of clove and banana that carry on into the taste. Full body, like massively full, but without being cloying and finishes very very dry with a subtle hint of something citrus i thought. Enjoyable, but the malt weight and abv make this a one per night sort of beer
