Commercial Description:
Emu Bitter is for those who prefer a more bitter beer. A trace astringent finish results from the high hoppiness and medium body.

Only every seen is over in WA and its really popular on tap for the locals. I tried it a few times overlooking Cottesloe beach in Perth, its pretty rough but when its hot and the beers cold it does what its meant to do

I never really went for the harsh bitterness of this particular bitter, coupled with the chemical aftertaste it is surely a horrible beer. Drink icy cold or totally motherless drunk. Shame on you EMU!

Pale gold/amber in colour, thin bodied with average carbonation. Large rapidly disapating white head. Flavourless and watery, short dry finish, light bitterness. (375ml brown bottle)

375 ml bottle - Pale goldy amber colour with a lousy head which vanishes shortly after pouring. Medium carbination. Thin and watery with a weak grassy flavour. Similar to Emu Draft and just as bad. It has a slightly more bitter finish.

(Can, thanks Gnoff) Pours deep golden with a white head. Malty aroma with a touch of grain, corn and grassy hops. Maybe a hint of saffron and honey. Malty flavour with a corn-ish grainyness. A slight dry and bitter finish, blended with sourish hints. A bit unclean mouthfeel with a watery body.
