Emerson's 1812 IPA 4.9% - Emerson's Brewing Co, Dunedin
September 2009
A blast from the past! With the surge in popularity of the new breed of NZ Pale Ales, 1812 has probably suffered a bit of late so I thought it worth a trip to the past to bring back an old favourite. Built on a nice malt base, hints of tropical fruits and caramel poke through from the NZ hops.1812 has been tweaked a little of late with what Richard and the team have learnt from the experimental ingredients in the Brewers Reserve range. See what you think.
