Speight's Triple Hop Pilsner

With such a classic Czech lager style, the challenge is to achieve flavour balance between characterful malts and the strong hop content. Nelson Sauvin and New Zealand Saaz hops are added at boil’s end for a fresher fruitier aroma. The biscuity residual sweetness of Munich Malt provides the balance, leaving a clean finish.

Emerson's London Porter

Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson’s first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints. The aroma is toasty, with a hint of sweetness and some earthy hop notes. Firm-bodied but not heavy, with a creamy texture, the dryish palate is full of roasted malt, coffeeish notes and a sustained bitterness.

Speight's Mid Ale

Brewed using Crystal, Caramalt and Chocolate malts, enough to give the beer a smooth caramelized malty flavor and aroma. The sweetness provided by the malts is balanced by an addition of Pacific Jade and Green Bullet hops to the kettle boil to release their hoppy bitterness. The finished product is a perfectly balanced, mid strength beer that’s still full of flavour.
