A Kiwi classic, Emerson’s Pilsner beautifully showcases Nelson grown Riwaka hops. It’s overt fruitiness oozes citrus and passionfruit aromas and flavours, and begs comparison with Marlborough’s world-beating Sauvignon Blancs. The beer’s palate shows a hint of early malt sweetness but develops a lengthy dry finish. So not a bad drop then. ABV: 4.90%
