\"Emerson's<\/a>
Emerson's Brewers' Reserve: 'Tally Ho!'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am very<\/em> fond of the Brewers’ Reserve series, and I am even more<\/em> fond of golden ales<\/a>, so when the former produces one of the latter… I have myself a little Beer Geek Moment.<\/p>\n

We got two kegs of this at work, about a week apart. Uncharacteristically, when I first tried it, I was armed with neither camera nor Diary<\/em> — so, you know, oh damn, you’ve twisted my arm, alright fine<\/em>, damn you, I’ll have another<\/em>. Marvellously, my second crack at it also coincided with the birthday of my dear friend Victoria. Not that she was around<\/em>; she lives in Sydney. But I’ll take any excuse to raise a glass, and she provided two in being both officially-English (as is the style), and someone with whom I’ve had more than a few golden ales — she was there for that first Australia Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Tally Ho!’ was bloody marvellous, really. Quite a bit more full-throated and solid than something like the beloved<\/a> Three Boys Golden<\/a>, it made for a nice counterpoint and was still stupifyingly refreshing; just perfect<\/em> after work on the humid nights we were having at the time. Really, the only thing wrong with it at all<\/em> is its existence as a reminder that Emerson’s still<\/em> haven’t put a golden ale back into proper permanent \/ semi-permanent \/ seasonal \/ at-least-predictable production. Sob, I say; genuine, heartfelt\u00a0sob<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Emerson’s Brewers’ Reserve: Tally Ho! 10\/2\/11 on tap @ MH 4\/9% I had one last week, too, but didn’t have Diary or camera; sheesh. So here we are again. Bigger & richer than your usual modern local golden ales. Very, very drinkable, but with a nice sort of solidity to[] it on the back end, too.
